About Stults Road Elementary
Stults Road Dual Language Elementary
Stults Road Elementary is the home of Richardson ISD’s Two-Way Dual Language Program, designed to foster bilingual and bi-literate scholars from an early age. The school integrates language learning with content instruction, starting with an 80/20 Spanish-to-English immersion model in Pre-K and transitioning to a balanced 50/50 model by first grade. Alongside linguistic growth, the campus utilizes the AVID Elementary framework to develop essential study skills, organization, and self-advocacy in every student. Following the recent completion of a two-year facility renovation, the campus features updated classrooms and new shared spaces like a modern cafeteria. Led by Principal Ron Anthony, the program emphasizes a community where students grow socially and emotionally. Families can participate in Choice Program enrollment for the dual language track, which requires a five-year commitment to ensure students reach full proficiency.

Safety Record
In 2017, a child with special needs wandered approximately two blocks from campus after opening a playground gate, leading to a district investigation and additional staff training. A parent reported at a 2023 Richardson ISD board meeting that their child was pushed off a slide at Stults Road Elementary, resulting in intensive care hospitalization and raising concerns about school communication procedures. The school also experienced temporary closures in October 2019 due to regional tornado damage and power outages.
Parent Reputation
Stults Road Elementary has a mixed reputation, holding a 3/10 rating from GreatSchools and a B- grade from Niche. Parents and local advocates are actively working to improve community perception, highlighting the school's 'Two-Way Dual Language' program as a significant draw. While some reviews praise the 'PACE' after-school program as 'amazing,' others express concerns regarding student discipline and safety management.
Staff Insights
The school employs approximately 49 teachers with an average of 10 years of experience, and several staff members have been recognized as 'Teacher of the Year.' Board meeting records show a mix of long-tenured staff (some over 20-30 years) and newer educators, with average campus tenure around 5.6 years. In late 2024, the district placed two teachers on leave as part of a statewide investigation into fraudulent teacher certifications, though specific campus assignments for those individuals were not disclosed.
