Summary

Lexington Elementary is a small, high-performing public school serving 174 students in grades K-5 within the affluent community of Los Gatos, part of the Los Gatos Union Elementary district.

Academically, Lexington is a top-tier California school, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide, with particular excellence in science where its 83% proficiency rate leads its district. The school benefits from its small size, offering a lower student-teacher ratio and a close-knit community. It has shown impressive recovery, reducing chronic absenteeism from a post-pandemic high to a very low 5.6%. However, the analysis reveals two key areas for attention: math scores, while strong, are slightly below the district average and represent a relative challenge compared to peers like Saratoga Elementary, and there is a notable performance gap where female students significantly outperform male students.

When compared to nearby schools, Lexington holds its own within its district, performing similarly to Louise Van Meter Elementary and Blossom Hill Elementary, though it operates with a higher per-student budget. Its upward trajectory in statewide ranking is positive. For parents, Lexington offers a consistently excellent, personalized education with a standout science program, in a district known for high achievement, with clear opportunities to strengthen math instruction and support for all students.
