Lewisville Independent School District
Grades K–127/10
62 schools Rating range: 210 / 10

Lewisville Independent School District remains a high-performing academic powerhouse, particularly noted for its top-tier high schools and robust STEM/CTE offerings. While the district maintains a 'Solid/Stable' rating due to its wealth of 10/10 rated campuses and strong community support for educators, it is currently navigating significant fiscal challenges and declining enrollment in certain pockets, leading to controversial school consolidation discussions. The notable performance gap between its affluent neighborhood schools and its lower-performing campuses indicates a geographic divide in academic outcomes, though the district's overall operational health remains resilient enough to avoid a lower classification.
