Lewisville Independent School District
Recognizing Investment in Student Excellence
Project RISE
At the heart of Lewisville ISD's mission is the belief that high-quality staff are the heart of a culture of learning. As a district, we are committed to ensuring our educators are positioned where they can make the greatest impact on student success.
Data-Driven Tiered Approach
To ensure resources are allocated effectively, Title I schools are categorized in tiers based on a weighted mathematical calculation of school-level factors. This ensures our highest-priority campuses receive elevated support and compensation to address academic opportunity gaps proactively.

Critical Subject Teachers
Includes educators assigned core content responsibilities for kindergarten through 8th grade classes across English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
Complementary Subject Teachers
Includes elective pathways, specials, and enrichment-area campus educators who play an integral part in providing our Title I students with well-rounded academic experiences.
A Shared Commitment to Excellence
With the significant compensation increases in Project RISE comes a shared commitment to campus turnaround and district required expectations for staff. Beginning with the 2027-28 staffing season, any elementary or middle school with two consecutive unacceptable state accountability ratings will undergo required staffing changes.
This is a proactive, strategic step to ensure our campus leadership teams and critical subject teachers are positioned for maximum impact, allowing us to build the strongest possible foundation for student excellence.
