Denton ISD received a C in the 2026 Texas accountability ratings with an overall score of 76, and its campus distribution is the most tightly clustered of any large district nearby.
Of 42 rated campuses, 18 earned a C, 13 earned a B, seven earned a D and four earned an A. No Denton ISD campus received an F.
The absence of an F
That last detail separates Denton from most districts of comparable size. Among large districts in the region, several carry campuses rated F. Denton carries none, and its lowest scores, Rivera Elementary at 62 and Evers Park Elementary at 63, sit in the D range.
At the top, Fred Moore High School scored 95, an A, followed by The Lagrone Academy and Blanton Elementary, both at 91.
The domains
The district scored 77 in student achievement, 75 in closing the gaps and 73 in both school progress and academic growth, all C ratings.
Like Sherman, Denton shows little variation across the four domains, which indicates consistent performance at the level of the overall grade rather than a district pulled in different directions by strength in one area.
