Lewisville ISD is contemplating the closure of 5 elementary schools.


Lewisville ISD is facing a multi-million dollar budget shortfall that may result in the closure of five elementary schools in the district. The schools potentially facing closure are B.B. Owen, Creekside, Garden Ridge, Highland Village, and Polser STEM Academy. The district will be seeking feedback from parents and the community before making a final decision in December. The board expects to have a final decision on the closures by December 2024, with changes set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year.

The district is projecting a $4.5 million deficit and nearly 10,000 fewer students in the next decade, prompting the need for cost-saving measures such as school closures. Some parents have expressed concern over the impact of closing schools, with one parent highlighting the potential impact on the district’s STEM program.

Lewisville ISD is holding “listening sessions” to gather input from parents and community members before making a final decision. Boundaries could also be adjusted for other elementary and middle schools in the district. The district will continue to monitor enrollment trends as they move forward with their decision-making process. This information was shared during a recent Lewisville ISD school board meeting.
