Thirteen LISD campuses make Texas Monthly list

Thirteen LISD campuses made the annual list of top public schools in Texas published annually in Texas Monthly. The elementary campuses that made the list are Bridlewood, Donald, Forest Vista, Liberty and McAuliffe. Briarhill, Downing, Forestwood, Lamar and McKamy Middle Schools made the list as did Killough Lewisville High School - North, Flower Mound and Hebron High Schools. Texas Monthly put the list together with help from the National Center for Educational Accountability, which analyzed student test results for the past three years. Elementary schools that made the list tested the highest on the TAKS test across all grades. Middle and high schools made the list by exceeding performance predictions during the years that were examined. For a detailed explanation of the methods used to rank the schools, go to www.just4kids.org.
