Summary:
This analysis examines 9 elementary schools in zip code 75028 (Flower Mound, TX), serving grades PK through 5 and all part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), revealing a dramatic performance gap between a cluster of elite, low-poverty schools and one school facing significant challenges.
The standout schools in this area form a clear "Bluebonnet Cluster" of top performers. Bluebonnet Elementary is the absolute leader, ranking in the 98th-99th percentile statewide with the highest test scores, particularly in 5th Grade Math (91.79% proficient) and Science (79.85%). Stem Academy At Bridlewood Elementary and Forest Vista Elementary are nearly as impressive, both ranking in the 96th percentile. Flower Mound Elementary is a consistent 5-star performer in the 92nd percentile. In contrast, Marjory Vickery Elementary is a significant outlier with a 1-star rating (28th percentile), starkly lower than its peers. Timber Creek Elementary is a "rising star," showing a clear upward trajectory from the 66th to the 74th percentile over three years.
The most telling metric is the free/reduced lunch rate, which strongly predicts performance. Stem Academy At Bridlewood Elementary (3.87%) and Bluebonnet Elementary (7.63%) have the lowest poverty rates, while Marjory Vickery Elementary has a staggering 74.8% rate. Spending data shows a "more money, more need" pattern, with Garden Ridge Elementary spending the most ($12,218/student) but not outperforming top schools. Science scores are the greatest differentiator, with top schools far exceeding the state average (29.57%) while Marjory Vickery Elementary (18.37%) falls below it. Notably, at Marjory Vickery Elementary, students taking the STAAR in Spanish often perform closer to their English-testing peers, suggesting the Spanish-language program is a critical support for its large English Learner population.
