Middle Schools in Lexington R-V

Summary:

The Lexington R-V school district in Missouri has only one middle school, Lexington Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The data suggests that Lexington Middle is a struggling school, performing well below the state average on key metrics such as standardized test scores and school rankings.

Lexington Middle is ranked 345 out of 438 Missouri middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4% and student performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 5.8% (8th grade) to 48.3% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 32.7% to 45.5%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 56.92% in 2023-2024.

The data suggests that the challenges faced by Lexington Middle may be related to the school's limited resources, as indicated by the relatively low per-student spending of $9,662 for the 2020-2021 school year and the high student-teacher ratio of 12.9 for the 2023-2024 school year. Further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
