Summary:

Lexington has nine schools serving about 6,678 students: six elementary schools (K–5), two middle schools (6–8), and one high school (9–12), with no alternative schools. The Lexington district ranks 6th of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars, and every school in this list currently holds 5 stars.

Lexington High is the state's top-ranked high school, 1st of 353, up from 4th of 348 two years earlier, with a 99.7% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. Among middle schools, Jonas Clarke Middle (3rd of 478) leads Wm Diamond Middle (10th of 478) in all-grade ELA, Math, Science, and Civics, though Diamond is stronger in 8th grade ELA and Math. Elementary rankings run from Joseph Estabrook (18th of 899) and Bridge (20th) through Bowman (26th), Maria Hastings (32nd), and Harrington (52nd), down to Fiske (68th).

Even the lowest scores here sit well above state averages. Science proficiency declined in 2025–2026 at every school with comparable data — modestly at Diamond, by only 0.58 points, but sharply at Bridge (–10.54) and Fiske (–7.99). Bowman slipped from 1st of 916 to 26th of 899, while Bridge climbed from 55th to 20th. Fiske is the most uneven, with 3rd grade Math at 88.64% but 5th grade ELA at 57.63%. Spending and class size show no simple link to results: Fiske has the highest per-pupil spending ($25,331) and lowest student-teacher ratio (9.1) yet the lowest elementary composite, while Estabrook has the lowest spending ($18,214) and the highest. Free/reduced lunch data is unreported for all schools, so equity comparisons cannot be made.
