Ischool Virtual Academy Of Texas

Ischool Virtual Academy Of Texas in Lewisville, TX, is a public charter school serving 778 students in grades 6-12, and it has earned a strong 4-star rating for six consecutive years, placing it in the 81st percentile statewide. This virtual school stands out for its exceptional performance in high school English, with 95.24% of students proficient in English I and 89.39% in English II—far exceeding state averages and even outperforming top nearby schools like Coppell High School (88.35% and 85.28%) and Marcus High School (76.12% and 77.21%). It also excels in supporting special education and at-risk students, ranking in the 97th percentile for special education and 84th percentile for low socio-economic status students, a stark contrast to schools like Smith High School and Lewisville High School, which struggle with similar populations.

However, the school has a "Jekyll and Hyde" academic profile: while it shines in high school English, it struggles significantly in middle school math and reading, with only 15.38% of 7th graders and 13.24% of 8th graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 29.41% and 47.24%. This suggests the virtual model works best for self-directed high school coursework but may need stronger support for foundational middle school skills. Notably, the school shares an address with Lewisville School Of Science And Technology, another school in the Texas College Preparatory Academies district, which excels in math (71.43% proficient in 7th-grade math), offering families a clear choice between a humanities-focused virtual path and a STEM-focused one.

With an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.4:1—far lower than nearby schools like Harmony Science Academy - Carrollton (15.7:1) or Creekview High School (14.8:1)—Ischool provides individualized attention that is rare in traditional settings. It also achieves these results while spending significantly less per student ($6,890) than schools like New Technical H S At Coppell or Winfree Academy Charter School (Lewisville), making it a cost-effective option for families seeking a flexible, supportive virtual environment, especially for students who may not thrive in large, traditional high schools.
