About Old Settlers EL
Old Settlers Elementary earns a 9.0/10 composite score — rated Exceptional — making it one of the strongest elementary schools in the state. It ranks #1 among all 21 public schools in Flower Mound and sits at #152 out of 8,547 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Texas schools. For families choosing where to plant roots in Flower Mound, those numbers matter.
Academic and growth scores both reach 9.2/10, a rare pairing that signals students aren't just arriving prepared — they're gaining ground each year. Consistent growth scores are often harder to sustain than raw academic performance, and Old Settlers delivers both. With 472 students across grades PK through 5 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, classrooms stay small enough for teachers to know each student well.
Old Settlers operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions. Families in its attendance zone get automatic access to a school that ranks inside the top 100 elementary schools in Texas — out of nearly 4,700. That kind of access is rare regardless of zip code, and genuinely uncommon at the elementary level.
