The Lewisville Independent School District’s promise to students, staff, parents and the communities service is that all students enjoy thriving, productive lines in a future they create. This vision is built on four cornerstones: Student Learning, Student Experience, Community Engagement and Resources Stewardship.
One of Texas’ fastest-growing school districts, Little Elm ISD also serves students who reside in The Colony with the state-of-the-art new Strike Middle School located in The Tribute that opened in August 2020 and the nearby Prestwick STEM Academy. The Little Elm ISD is District of Innovation (DOI) that embraces innovative programs, technology, and a rigorous curriculum.
The Colony is within commuting distance of 34 campuses of both private and state colleges and universities as well as community colleges. These include Southern Methodist University in Dallas, The University of Texas at Dallas in Richardson and The University of Dallas in Irving. The Colony is also less than fifteen minutes from the Preston Ridge campus of Collin County Community College, which has hi-tech courses in telecommunications (including various certification programs) as well as high-level computer courses and accompanying certification programs.
The Colony High School has an “A Overall” rating by the Texas Education Agency and an “A Student Achievement” rating. The campus received an “A” in the 2019 Texas Academic Performance Report with distinction designations in Academic Achievement in Mathematics and Science. The campus is among the Top 25 percent in the state in terms of Comparative Academic Growth. The Colony High School is also the location for the Lewisville’s acclaimed Collegiate Academy, which provides students the opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree or up to 60 hours of dual credit while in high school.
Young minds in our community who are interested in math, science and technology will have the opportunity to explore hands-on curriculum with a science and mathematics focus at a new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Academy in the Fall of 2014.
The Little Elm ISD Board of School Trustees approved plans on May 20, 2013 to build the district’s first K – 8 Academy. The new 80,000 square foot school will be located on a 31-acre lot in The Tribute, a 1,500-acre master planned lakeside golf and resort community, in The Colony, the southern portion of the school district.
