Summary

Lexington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 215 students in grades PK-5 in Lexington, Illinois, which is part of the Lexington CUSD 7 district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 66.4% of Lexington students were proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 53.1%, and 46.7% were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 38.5%.

Lexington Elementary School has also seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 26.3% in 2023-2024 to 11.4% in 2024-2025, putting the school below the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 23.26% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which is lower than many of the nearby schools. Lexington Elementary School's higher spending per student ($13,424 in 2023-2024) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.7 in 2023-2024) compared to nearby schools may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Stevenson Elementary School and Benjamin Elementary School, Lexington Elementary School outperforms them in both ELA and Math proficiency. However, the school should continue to monitor and address any achievement gaps between student subgroups to ensure equitable outcomes for all.
