Summary

Independence Elementary in Lewisville, TX, is a large PK-5 school serving 830 students within the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 67th percentile statewide. While the school has historically earned a 4-star rating, its most recent data shows a decline to a 3-star rating, with its state percentile rank dropping from the 70th-80th range to the 65th percentile. This recent dip is a key concern, especially when compared to nearby schools like Castle Hills Elementary, a 5-star school in the 97th percentile located just 1.5 miles away, and Homestead Elementary, which is ranked in the 89th percentile and improving.

One of the school’s most notable strengths is its performance in 5th-grade reading, where 73% of students are proficient—significantly higher than the 55% and 51% proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grades. This "bounce" suggests a particularly effective 5th-grade reading team or intervention program that could serve as a model for improvement in other areas. However, math is a consistent weakness, with proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grades (45.5% and 41.7%) falling well below district averages (55.5% and 56.2%). In contrast, Castle Hills excels in math, with 93.5% of 4th graders proficient.

The school serves a diverse student body, with about 45% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and maintains a healthy student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1. While Independence performs well for some student groups, it struggles significantly with others, particularly in math. The school’s performance for English Language Learners has been volatile, and its Spanish-language STAAR scores are very low. The primary challenge for Independence is to replicate its success in 5th-grade reading across all grades and subjects, especially math, to reverse its downward trend and close the achievement gaps that separate it from its highest-performing neighbors.
