Summary

Lexington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Lexington, Indiana, part of the Scott County School District 2. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with 61.54% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and ILEARN/Math, compared to 39.61% and 43.96% for the district, respectively.

Lexington Elementary School's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 39th out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 and as low as 549th out of 1,031 in 2018-2019. Currently, the school is ranked 179th out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. When compared to other nearby schools within the same district, such as Vienna-Finley Elementary School and Scottsburg Elementary School, Lexington Elementary consistently outperforms its peers in test scores.

However, the school faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 14.1% to 21.5% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, Lexington Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.81% to 61.9% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, the school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $12,302 to $13,872, may contribute to its ability to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.
