Summary:

Zip code 27023 contains two public schools in the Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district — Lewisville Elementary (PK-5) and Lewisville Middle (6-8) — with no public high school or alternative school located in the zip code.

Both schools are standout performers by state standards. Lewisville Elementary is ranked in the 95th percentile (68th of 1,492 elementary schools, 5 stars), while Lewisville Middle is ranked in the 93rd percentile (56th of 778 middle schools, 5 stars), making Lewisville Elementary slightly stronger in relative standing. These school-level ratings far exceed those of the parent Winston Salem / Forsyth County Schools district, which ranks 159th of 246 North Carolina districts and earns just 2 stars. The results are especially notable because both schools report free/reduced lunch eligibility above 99%, yet they post proficiency levels well above district and state averages. For example, 4th grade math at Lewisville Elementary is 91.3% proficient versus 57.9% for the district and 61.4% for the state; at Lewisville Middle, 8th grade math is 81.7% proficient versus 42.4% for the district and 53.0% for the state. Chronic absenteeism at Lewisville Elementary is 12.8% and at Lewisville Middle is 23.0%, both below the district’s 33.6% and below the state’s 24.2%.

Looking at trends, Lewisville Middle has surged from an 84th-percentile state ranking in 2024-2025 to its strongest three-year rank at the 93rd percentile in 2025-2026, with notable jumps in 8th grade science (70.5% to 85.5%) and 8th grade math (67.9% to 81.7%). Lewisville Elementary remains elite but shows a slight three-year drift from the 98th to the 95th percentile, and its lowest current score is 3rd grade reading at 74.8% proficient. With no high school in 27023, families will need to research attendance options outside the zip code for grades 9-12. All told, these two schools are excellent public K-8 options that stand out even within a district that looks weak from an overall rating perspective.
