Summary:
This analysis examines four middle schools serving grades 6-8 in the 75028 zip code of Flower Mound, Texas, all part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the 67th percentile among Texas districts.
The standout academic performer is Stem Academy At Clayton Downing Middle, which holds the best state ranking (82nd out of 2,335) and achieved a perfect 100% proficiency on the Algebra I EOC exam.

Stem Academy At Forestwood Middle is the largest school (894 students) and shows strong reading and Algebra I scores, but has a notable weakness in 7th-grade math (21.15% proficiency). Lamar Middle is the lowest-ranked school (443rd) but still performs well above state averages, though it has the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (24.02%) and the lowest spending per student ($9,529).
Key findings include a clear correlation between higher per-pupil spending and better rankings, with the two highest-spending schools (Shadow Ridge at $10,183 and Clayton Downing at $10,314) also being the top-ranked. A universal "7th-grade math slump" is evident across all schools, with proficiency rates dropping dramatically compared to 6th and 8th grades. Despite these differences, all four schools significantly outperform state averages in nearly every subject, with Algebra I being a major strength (95.6% to 100% proficiency).
