Lewisville Independent School District (Isd)

The Lewisville Independent School District (Isd) serves 61 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, across a diverse area in Texas that is starkly divided by socioeconomic status, which correlates almost perfectly with academic performance.

Standout schools in the district are geographically concentrated. Flower Mound High School is the clear top performer, ranking in the 93rd percentile with a 99.3% graduation rate, while Hebron High School and Marcus High School also achieve high rankings. At the middle school level, Stem Academy at Clayton Downing Middle, McKamy Middle, and Shadow Ridge Middle all rank in the 96th percentile. Elementary standouts include Wellington Elementary, Old Settlers Elementary, and Bluebonnet Elementary, all in the 98th percentile. In contrast, Lewisville High School is the lowest-performing traditional high school, ranking in the 20th percentile, while Mill Street Elementary is the district's lowest-ranked school at the 3rd percentile.

Key metrics reveal a wide spending disparity, from $8,593 per student at Hebron High School to $28,182 at the Learning Center, yet higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes. A fascinating anomaly is the "Algebra I" pattern in middle schools, where 8th graders achieve exceptionally high Algebra I scores despite low 7th-grade math proficiency, indicating effective acceleration of top students. The "STEM Academy" brand is inconsistent, with top performers like Stem Academy at Clayton Downing Middle alongside lower-performing schools like Stem Academy at Griffin Middle. The Colony High School sits in a precarious middle ground, representing the district's struggle to serve its diverse student population effectively.
