Summary:
Zip code 75077, serving the Highland Village and Lewisville area, is home to two middle schools—Briarhill Middle and Huffines Middle—both part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), and they present a stark contrast in performance and student demographics.
Briarhill Middle stands out as a top-tier school, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide. Its academic scores far exceed district and state averages, with 79.4% reading proficiency and 53.4% math proficiency, compared to state averages of 55.4% and 38.4%, respectively. Notably, 92.5% of its students are proficient in Algebra I, a high school-level course. In contrast, Huffines Middle struggles significantly, with a 0-star rating and an 8th percentile rank. Its proficiency rates are critically low—34.0% in reading and 12.3% in math—and it has a 0.9% dropout rate, while Briarhill reports none. The socioeconomic divide is a key factor: only 9.61% of Briarhill students qualify for free/reduced lunch, compared to 67.48% at Huffines.
Despite Huffines receiving more resources—a lower student-teacher ratio (11.5:1 vs. 15.5:1) and higher per-student spending ($10,758 vs. $9,055)—the achievement gap remains wide. The only bright spot for Huffines is its Algebra I proficiency (54.4%), which matches the state average, likely reflecting strong support for its advanced students. For parents, Briarhill Middle offers exceptional academic outcomes, while Huffines Middle faces systemic challenges that additional resources have not yet overcome.
