Summary:
The city of Lexington, Alabama is home to two schools - Lexington Elementary School and Lexington High School, both part of the Lauderdale County school district. While both schools perform well compared to county and state averages, Lexington High School stands out as a clear top performer, ranking 14th out of 374 Alabama high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Lexington High School boasts a strong 90% 4-year graduation rate and outperforms the county and state on several key test score metrics, including 11th grade math (42.31% proficient vs 23.32% county, 23.71% state), science (61.54% vs 40.46% county, 32.38% state), and English (50% vs 39.39% county, 30.24% state) proficiency. In contrast, while Lexington Elementary School performs well, it does not stand out as a clear top performer in the same way as the high school.
Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Lexington Elementary at 17.5 and Lexington High at 16.4. However, the data also reveals high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, around 45%, suggesting the Lexington community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district with one standout high school performer and an elementary school that is solid but not necessarily a clear leader in the region.
