Summary:
In zip code 75057, located in Lewisville, Texas, there is one middle school, Delay Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd).
Delay Middle presents a complex picture for parents. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, at 89.46%, and its state ranking has declined to the 4th percentile. Overall academic proficiency is significantly below both district and state averages across most subjects. For example, in 7th-grade mathematics, only 2.92% of students were proficient, compared to 29.41% statewide. The school's dropout rate of 1.9% is also more than double the district's rate. However, there is a notable bright spot: students taking Algebra I achieved an 89.29% proficiency rate, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests that while the general student body faces substantial challenges, the advanced math program is exceptionally effective for a select group of students.
Key metrics show a student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which indicates relatively small class sizes. Per-student spending is $10,534. The school's performance in reading averages around 26.9% proficiency across grades 6-8, while mathematics averages just 13.4%. Eighth-grade social studies proficiency is critically low at 9.34%. The stark contrast between the high performance in Algebra I and the very low scores in general math and other subjects highlights a significant challenge: the school is not effectively supporting the majority of its students in core academic areas, despite having resources like a low student-teacher ratio. This makes Delay Middle a school where parents would need to closely investigate support systems and intervention strategies for the general student population.
