Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 78947, all part of the Lexington Independent School District (Isd), serve a small, unified community with a total of 1,052 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, and the district itself holds a solid 3-star rating, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide.
Lexington Middle stands out as a math powerhouse, with 100% of its 8th-grade students scoring proficient or above on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding state averages. Lexington High School is a consistent performer with a 4-star rating, a 97.6% graduation rate, and strong results in humanities subjects like U.S. History and English II, though it struggles with Algebra I proficiency at just 28.57%. In contrast, Lexington Elementary is the district's weakest link, earning only a 2-star rating and showing a downward trend in state percentile rank over the past three years, with test scores below state averages in 5th-grade math and reading.
Key metrics reveal a spending disparity, with the high school spending $12,051 per student compared to $9,430 at the elementary school, and the elementary school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.4 versus 10.3 at the middle school. The most interesting finding is the contrast in Algebra I performance: while the middle school excels at accelerating top math students, the high school struggles with the general population, suggesting a need for better curriculum alignment. Overall, the district has strong middle school math and high school humanities programs, but must address the elementary school's decline and the gap in high school math to ensure long-term success.
