Griffin and Lakeview middle schools are among 10 Lewisville ISD campuses whose improvement plans go to the school board for approval Tuesday, Oct. 13.
Both campuses in The Colony earned C ratings from the Texas Education Agency and were flagged for targeted support for specific groups of students, which means each must adopt what the district calls a Local Improvement Plan, according to board documents. Griffin's flag covers emergent bilingual students. Lakeview's covers emergent bilingual students and students of two or more races.
District rules require a local plan for any campus with a D rating or a state identification for targeted or additional targeted support. The plans must be written, approved by trustees and in use by Nov. 20, and they go to the state only if the agency asks. Staff first briefed the board on them at an Oct. 5 work session.
The other campuses on the list are Central, Independence, Indian Creek, Lakeland, Lewisville, Parkway and Vickery elementary schools and Hedrick Middle School.
Lakeview
Lakeview's plan describes a campus that has been shrinking. It serves 323 students in grades six through eight, and its needs assessment says enrollment has steadily declined as families in its attendance zone age and newcomers to The Colony settle in new neighborhoods zoned to other schools.
Some students zoned to Lakeview have transferred to other district middle schools, a trend the plan ties to inconsistent leadership and systems and to the D rating the school carried from 2022 to 2025.
The school's score rose 2 points from the previous year's 69. The plan lists math as the most critical need, with 24% of students reaching the Meets grade level standard. Among emergent bilingual students, 14% reached Meets in reading and 9% in math, and 32.3% of students earned no growth points on STAAR. Lakeview has 33 teachers, a 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio and 95% attendance.
Griffin
Griffin, at 5105 N. Colony Blvd., opened in 1982 and was rebuilt in 2015. Its plan counts 653 students and 46 teachers. Seventy-two percent of its students passed all STAAR tests at the Approaches Grade Level standard or higher, which the plan says ranks 15th among 40 comparable campuses and 10th among the district's 15 middle schools.
Among current emergent bilingual students, the figure was 49%.
