School Overview

Nelson Elementary sits in the growing southern edge of Denton, where newer subdivisions and a strong sense of community have made this part of town increasingly popular with young families. The school shows particular strength in English and Science, making it a solid choice for parents who want well-rounded academics in a neighborhood school setting. Denton itself has a lot going for you — a lively arts scene, two major universities, and enough small-city charm to feel distinct from the broader DFW sprawl.
