Summary

Lexington Elementary is a large K–5 school in Kelso, Washington, serving 854 students in the Kelso School District and offering a solidly above-average local option in a community with varied economic circumstances.

Lexington ranks in the 58th percentile statewide and is currently the highest-ranked school among the nearby Kelso schools, narrowly ahead of Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School. Its overall ranking improved from the 54th percentile in 2024–25. Academically, science is the clearest strength: 59.15% of students are proficient, the highest result among the nearby comparison schools and about 8 percentage points above Washington’s rate. Math proficiency is 49.87%, nearly 16 points above the district average and higher than most nearby schools. Lexington’s 50.13% ELA result is close to the state average and stronger than the district, although Rose Valley Elementary posts stronger ELA and math results.

The school’s 63.7% free- or reduced-price lunch rate is higher than at Rose Valley, Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School, Robert Gray Elementary, and Columbia Heights Elementary, making Lexington’s results notable in context. Its 16.8 student-teacher ratio is typical for the comparison group, despite the school being much larger than nearby schools such as Rose Valley Elementary and Wallace Elementary. Parents may want to look closely at uneven grade-level results: third-grade math is exceptional, while fourth-grade ELA and upper-grade math are weaker. Special education outcomes are also an important area for improvement, while reported results for Hispanic students and students from low-income households rank especially well statewide.
