Lewisville ISD administrators presented district end-of-year student learning results and updates to the district improvement plan and long-range plan scorecard, reporting growth in third-grade reading and math targets and a substantial increase in college, career and military readiness (CCMR) testing participation.
Assistant and central-office leaders told trustees the district met most end-of-year targets: early literacy and end-of-year math targets were met district-wide, and 95.5% of third graders were reported as on grade level or showing progress in reading in the end-of-year data set. The district reported that 99% of students completed the district’s annual math assessment and 99% completed the reading assessment in the reporting window used for the presentation.
Administrators highlighted a deliberate expansion of college-readiness testing: the district administered TSI testing to all students who had completed Algebra II or English III, increasing the number of college-readiness exams from about 3,500 to roughly 9,635. That expanded testing raised reported CCMR participation: administrators said about 80% of seniors had completed a college readiness exam at the time of the presentation, and that TEA finalizes some CCMR calculations in May and continues to update files.
Superintendent-level staff also discussed how the district tracks campus-level patterns, targets support for new teachers and identifies pockets of students or classrooms needing intervention. Assistant Superintendent Adrian (last name in transcript not specified) told trustees the district uses targeted campus check-ins and coaching, and that 3,800 personalized coaching and PLC support sessions were provided this year despite reduced staffing in central office.
The district signaled that next school year it will change assessment tools (moving away from Istation for some measures) and will recalibrate growth targets accordingly. The district’s long-range plan timeline calls for finalizing District Improvement Plan (DIP) strategies in July and bringing campus improvement plans in September; the board will review House Bill 3 goals tied to the new assessment tool in October.
Trustees praised the reported growth and asked follow-up questions about trends, staff retention, how the district targets students who enroll midyear, and whether some policy options (for example, making CCMR a local graduation requirement or tightening pathway completion rules) should be considered. Administrators said work on those policy considerations would continue.
