Summary:

Lexington, Massachusetts is home to 10 schools serving elementary through high school students — 6 elementary, 2 middle, and 2 high schools — with a combined enrollment of 7,347 students; nine belong to the Lexington public school district, while Minuteman Regional High belongs to the Minuteman Regional Vocational Technical district, making this one of the strongest school communities in the state.

The Lexington district ranks 6th of 351 districts in Massachusetts, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and every Lexington district school in this list is a 5-star school. Lexington High is the flagship: ranked 1st of 353 high schools for 2025–2026 at the 100th percentile, it posts a 99.7% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and 10th-grade proficiency of 84.04% in ELA, 90.05% in Math, and 87.01% in Science. Jonas Clarke Middle ranks 3rd of 478 middle schools, outperforming Wm Diamond Middle (10th of 478) in ELA, Math, Science, and Civics. Among elementary schools, Joseph Estabrook (18th of 899) and Bridge (20th of 899) lead, followed by Bowman (26th), Maria Hastings (32nd), Harrington (52nd), and Fiske (68th).

Minuteman Regional High offers a different vocational profile: 106th of 353 high schools with 4 stars, a 95.5% graduation rate and a 4.0% dropout rate, plus the highest per-student spending ($32,527) and the lowest student/teacher ratio (8.1) in the list. Even the lowest-ranked Lexington district school here, Fiske, sits at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, and its all-grade ELA of 67.70% is more than 27 points above the state average. Grade-level gaps within schools can be large — Fiske's 3rd-grade Math is 88.64% while its 5th-grade Math is 61.02% — so school averages can mask very different experiences by grade.
