Lakeland Elementary

Lakeland Elementary is a PK-5 school in Lewisville, TX, serving 581 students within the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), where a very high percentage of students (87-89%) come from families with economic need.

While the school has historically ranked in the bottom third of Texas elementary schools, recent data shows a positive trend, with its state percentile ranking improving from the 9th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 27th percentile in 2025-2026. A bright spot is 5th-grade Reading, where 56.76% of students were proficient in the most recent testing year—the only grade and subject where Lakeland outperformed the state average (58.47%). However, 4th-grade Reading is a significant concern, with only 29.59% of students proficient, a 34-point gap below the district average. Performance on the Spanish STAAR exam is also critically low, indicating that support for Spanish-speaking emergent bilingual students needs strengthening. Interestingly, the school’s Multi-racial student group is a standout, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakeland’s high poverty rate is similar to Central Elementary (95.1% free/reduced lunch), but Lakeland outperforms Central in nearly every metric, including a 27th percentile overall rank versus Central’s 10th percentile. In contrast, Garden Ridge Elementary, just 1.91 miles away, serves a much more affluent population (23% free/reduced lunch) and is a top-performing school (90th percentile), with 5th-grade Reading proficiency at 89.47% compared to Lakeland’s 43.53% in 2024-2025. This disparity highlights the strong link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes, not a reflection of school quality.
