Summary:

The city of Lexington, Massachusetts is home to 7 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, part of the Lexington school district, are consistently ranked among the top in the state and offer a strong academic foundation for young learners.

Three schools stand out as top performers in the Lexington area: Bowman, ranked 6th out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools, Maria Hastings, ranked 28th, and Joseph Estabrook, ranked 23rd. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with proficiency rates well above the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The Lexington school district as a whole is ranked 4th out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While the Lexington elementary schools generally perform at a high level, there is some variation in their performance. For example, Fiske has lower proficiency rates compared to the other Lexington schools, particularly in English Language Arts. The schools also vary in their per-student spending, ranging from $18,214 to $25,331 per student, and student-teacher ratios, from 8.4 to 11.7 students per teacher. These factors may contribute to the differences in academic outcomes across the Lexington elementary school system.
