Lexington

The Lexington school district in Tennessee consists of two schools - Paul G. Caywood Elementary and Lexington Middle School. The district as a whole is ranked 15th out of 139 districts in the state, indicating it is a relatively high-performing area.

Of the two schools, Lexington Middle School stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking in the top 11% of Tennessee middle schools and consistently exceeding district and state averages across multiple subject areas. The school's test scores, particularly in Math, Science, and Social Studies, are significantly higher than the Lexington and Tennessee state averages. Additionally, Lexington Middle School maintains a lower student-teacher ratio than Paul G. Caywood Elementary, indicating smaller class sizes.

While Paul G. Caywood Elementary is still a solid performer, ranking in the top 29% of Tennessee elementary schools, it does not demonstrate the same level of standout performance as the middle school. The elementary school's test scores are generally at or slightly above the Lexington district averages, but not as consistently high as the middle school. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area for improvement in student engagement and attendance.
