Summary

Lexington Elementary School in Lexington, AL, is a rural Pre-K through 6th grade school with 454 students that has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the top quarter of elementary schools statewide (144th out of 686).

This school truly shines in the early grades. In 3rd grade, 84.62% of students were proficient in English and 82.69% in math—nearly double the state average for math (44.89%). That strong foundation carries forward, as 6th graders still outperform the state by 20 percentage points in math (55.17% vs. 35.22%). Within the Lauderdale County district, Lexington ranks first among elementary schools, ahead of Brooks Elementary (rank 172) and far above Rogers Elementary (rank 389). The school also serves a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (35.9% free/reduced lunch) compared to peers like Wilson Elementary (49.82%) and Underwood Elementary (46.94%).

There are a couple of areas worth noting. First, math proficiency takes a noticeable dip in 4th and 5th grades (dropping to 46.15% and 39.68% respectively), a pattern seen for three consecutive years—suggesting a possible transition challenge in curriculum rigor. Second, chronic absenteeism sits at 18.4%, well above the state average of 12.0%, though still better than the district's 23.4%. By comparison, nearby Forest Hills School (9.2%) and Weeden Elementary School (12.6%) in the Florence City district have much lower rates. Despite this, Lexington's academic outcomes remain competitive with or better than those city schools, a testament to its effective teaching staff. The school also serves female students exceptionally well (80th percentile statewide) and has improved efficiency, with a slightly larger student-teacher ratio (17.8) yet stable or better performance.
