Summary:
Zip code 29729 is home to a single elementary school, Lewisville Elementary, which serves grades PK through 5 and has an enrollment of 594 students in the Chester 01 school district.
For parents considering this area, Lewisville Elementary is a clear academic leader within its district, consistently outperforming the Chester 01 average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 5th-grade math proficiency was 53.1%, which is 18.2 points above the district average. The school also shows positive momentum, with year-over-year improvements in 3rd-grade ELA (54.7% to 62.5%), 3rd-grade math (52.6% to 58.4%), and 4th-grade science (34.6% to 40.7%). However, performance relative to the state is mixed, with the school at or above state averages in some grades but lagging in others. The most notable concern is a significant drop in 4th-grade math proficiency, which fell to just 37.4% in 2025-2026, a 21-point decline from the 3rd-grade rate and below the district average. This specific grade-level weakness is worth investigating if you have a child entering 4th grade.
The school's state ranking has fluctuated, peaking at the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 but dropping to the 46th-48th percentile (2 stars) in the last two years, suggesting other schools statewide are improving faster. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.6 and per-student spending of $13,880, the school appears well-resourced. Chronic absenteeism is 20.7%, which is lower than the district's 25.4% but slightly above the state's 22.3%, indicating generally good student engagement. Overall, Lewisville Elementary offers a solid, locally competitive education with strong district leadership, though parents should be aware of the 4th-grade math challenge and the school's mixed state-level standing.
