Summary:

Lexington City Schools operates a single middle school, Lexington Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 539 out of 793 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 522 out of 773 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Lexington Middle School's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 6th grade math proficiency rate was 42.9% compared to the state average of 57.2%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.49% in 2023-2024, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,220, which is slightly above the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1 in 2023-2024.

Overall, the data suggests that Lexington City Schools' sole middle school is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in North Carolina. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population could be an important area of focus for the district.
