Summary

Lexington Elementary is a large, K-5 public school serving 854 students in the Kelso School District, consistently earning a 3-star rating and performing near or above state averages in core subjects despite a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

What makes Lexington stand out is its strong academic performance relative to other schools with similar demographics in the area. For example, it significantly outperforms other high-poverty schools like Wallace Elementary and Barnes Elementary. The school is a particular leader in mathematics within its district, with student proficiency rates consistently over 10 points higher than the Kelso School District average. It also compares favorably to schools in the neighboring Longview School District, such as Robert Gray Elementary.

While Lexington shows notable strengths, including exceptional performance with Hispanic students and efficient use of resources, it faces challenges in supporting Special Education students and has seen weaker performance in 4th-grade subjects. Overall, the school delivers solid results for its community, ranking second only to the more affluent Rose Valley Elementary within its district, demonstrating effective strategies for student success.
