Rating 4 out of 5
Honestly, I feel like Lewisville High school is the perfect place for someone who really wants to have a chance at getting into college and genuinely cares for their education. It’s full of people who have passion for different things and also has what it takes to be the top of anything they do. If you want guidance and/or experience in a certain field that you want to improve in and have a career, then I would say that Lewisville High school is a good place to spend 4 years in.

The AP teachers are very helpful and truly care about the kids and their jobs. However, on level teachers tend to not work very hard and let the students do whatever. In general, everyone is fairly well-educated and usually go onto college or into the work force. The counselors are amazing.

My experience with the Denton Independent School district has been overall average. Some of the facility are great, others cold use a chill-pill, but overall i would allow my future child to have an education with this school district.
