College Readiness

LISD allows high school seniors the option to post their class rank on their transcripts.

The default is set to post a student’s class rank on their transcripts. To opt out of having class rank posted on a transcript, parents must complete the district’s Class Rank Display on Transcript Form located in the Skyward Family Access portal using parent login credentials.

The timeline to complete the Class Rank Display on Transcript Form is between

Sept. 15 - Sept. 30, 2024.

Students who do not have the form completed for them will have their class rank posted on their transcripts.

** Please note that once a parent submits a request to NOT display rank for the student, no other opportunities will be available to update the form and the decision is final. All subsequent transcripts will be printed without rank.

No other action is needed for students who wish to have their class rank posted on their transcript.

Please note: students in the Top 10 percent cannot remove their class rank from their transcripts.

What is the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment?

The TSI Assessment is part of the Texas Success Initiative program designed to help your college or university determine if you are ready for college-level course work in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. If you are an incoming college student in Texas, you are required to take the TSI Assessment, unless you meet an exemption criterion, to determine your readiness for college-level work.

In Lewisville ISD, the whole child is at the core of everything we do as a district, including our students' mental, emotional and physical health. With counselors on every campus, LISD knows parents want their children to receive an outstanding education, but more importantly, they want their children to be nurtured and cared for beyond just academics.

The Lewisville ISD Counseling and Social Work Department is grateful to partner with you to support the social emotional needs of all LISD students. We believe education on these issues is key to helping our students become happy, successful people.

Please review these flyers describing different social issues our students may face. If you have any areas that we may assist you or your student, please contact your student’s school counselor.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with your students.
