Summary

Peters Colony Elementary is a public elementary school in The Colony, Texas, serving 560 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Lewisville Independent School District, which is ranked 309 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Academically, Peters Colony Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in reading and math around 30-50%, significantly below the district and state averages of 55-70% and 45-58%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. In comparison, nearby schools within the Lewisville ISD, such as Stem Academy at Memorial Elementary and Ethridge Elementary, as well as schools in the Frisco Independent School District, like Bledsoe Elementary and Hosp Elementary, generally perform better academically.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Peters Colony Elementary, around 60-68% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, appears to be a key factor contributing to the school's academic challenges. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Lewisville ISD and the Frisco ISD schools, which have much lower free/reduced-price lunch rates. Additionally, the school's Gifted and Talented program has seen fluctuations in performance, and its Special Education student subgroup has shown some improvement but still has room for growth. Addressing the needs of all student subgroups will be crucial for Peters Colony Elementary's improvement.
