Summary

Stem Academy At Valley Ridge Elementary is a public school in Lewisville, TX, serving 582 students in grades PK-5 within the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd).

This school is currently at a crossroads. While it has a history of solid, mid-level performance, recent data shows a notable decline, particularly in math. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency dropped from 65.79% in 2023-2024 to 41.25% in 2025-2026. Despite its "Stem Academy" name, science scores are underwhelming, with only 26.92% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, which is below the district average. The school is also struggling to maintain the equitable outcomes it previously achieved for all student groups. A bright spot is its work with Special Education students, who now rank in the 75th percentile statewide. Compared to nearby schools, Stem Academy is a "middle of the pack" performer in a neighborhood of high achievers. For instance, McAuliffe Elementary (95th percentile), Flower Mound Elementary (92nd percentile), and Heritage Elementary (92nd percentile) are all within a 2-mile radius and consistently achieve top-tier rankings.

The school's performance is closely tied to its socioeconomic context. With 40% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, it sits in the middle of the local spectrum. The highest-performing nearby schools have very low poverty rates (6-18%), while lower-performing schools like Lakeland Elementary, Marjory Vickery Elementary, and Degan Elementary have very high poverty rates (69-87%). Stem Academy's 40% rate places it in a challenging middle ground, where it must serve a more diverse student body than its high-performing neighbors. The school faces the challenge of reversing a negative trend to keep pace with its exceptionally high-performing neighbors.
