Little Elm Independent School District (Isd)

The Little Elm Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance across its schools.

Among the standout schools, Prestwick Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools, with high proficiency rates in reading and math. Little Elm High School also stands out for its strong performance in U.S. History, with 82.17% of students proficient or better on the STAAR EOC exam. Additionally, Lowell H Strike Middle has the highest proficiency rate in Algebra I among the middle schools, nearly double the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, particularly in reading and math proficiency. Schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Cesar Chavez Elementary and D.H. Brent Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting potential equity issues that the district may need to address. The district's overall graduation rate of 88.8% at Little Elm High School is slightly below the state average, and the middle schools have relatively low dropout rates ranging from 1.1% to 1.3%.
