Summary

Lewis Elementary is a K-4 school in Forney, TX, serving 738 students within the Forney Independent School District (Isd). The school has experienced a significant decline over the past decade, dropping from an 88th percentile ranking (4 stars) in 2015-2016 to its current 41st percentile (2 stars), though it has shown a slight recovery from a low of the 26th percentile in the previous year.

When comparing Lewis Elementary to nearby schools, the performance gap is notable. Just 1.3 miles away, Linda Lyon Elementary in the Rockwall Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the 87th percentile, while Amy Parks-Heath Elementary (2.77 miles away) ranks in the 89th percentile. Even within the Forney district, Claybon Elementary (4.57 miles away) performs significantly better at the 74th percentile. The proficiency gap is stark: Lewis Elementary's 3rd and 4th grade reading and math scores range from 41% to 46%, while nearby high-performing schools consistently achieve 60% to 75% proficiency in the same subjects.

Despite the overall challenges, Lewis Elementary shows notable strengths with specific student groups. The school performs exceptionally well for its African American students (71st percentile, 4 stars) and has shown remarkable improvement for Special Education students, jumping from the 16th percentile to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in just two years. However, the school struggles significantly with Hispanic and Asian students, both ranking in the 14th percentile (1 star). The school's spending of $7,328 per student is comparable to high-performing Amy Parks-Heath ($7,948) but lower than Claybon Elementary ($8,954) and Sunnyvale Elementary ($11,200), suggesting that how funds are utilized may be as important as the amount spent.
