Lexington El, Lexington TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Lexington El

Lexington Elementary serves the early grades of a small rural school district in north central Lee County, an hour east of Austin. The school enrolls a modest-sized cohort across pre-K through fifth grade, with roughly half the students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly white, with Hispanic, Black, and multiracial students making up the remainder. Demographic breakdowns by English learner status and special education enrollment were not available in the data provided.

The school's state test results from the most recent year show a pattern of uneven proficiency. In English language arts, about half the tested students in grades three through five met or exceeded the proficiency threshold, with fourth and fifth grade performing slightly better than third grade. Math proficiency begins lower in third grade—about one-third of students—but climbs noticeably in fourth grade (roughly half) and again in fifth grade (about three-fifths). Science proficiency in fifth grade sits lower, at about one-third meeting the standard. Across all tested grades and subjects, Texas reports that a substantial majority of students are approaching proficiency overall, though only a small share are reaching the "master" level. Third grade in particular may want closer attention, as students at that level show the steepest gaps between approaches and meets proficiency, and math proficiency there falls notably below later grades.

The school sits within Lee County's three-district comparison set. On the proficiency index metric that combines performance across tested subjects and grades, Lexington Elementary ranks above the midpoint among its county neighbors, performing in the upper range. A broader trend history was not available, so parents cannot see whether these results reflect progress, decline, or stability from prior years.

The school is housed in a town defined by ranching, cotton farming, and small acreage rather than suburban sprawl. Lexington is car-dependent rural terrain with a defined downtown around a town square and Heritage Square, where schools sit as civic anchors. Housing values in the ZIP code are above the Texas median, though the market itself is small and incremental; most transactions involve acreage or older homes rather than new subdivisions. Families here tend to have roots in the area spanning generations. The district itself employs roughly 89 teachers across three campuses serving a small K-12 enrollment, making schools central to community identity and social life.

For a family choosing between early-education options, this school offers an established, community-rooted setting with math performance that accelerates from grade to grade. The pattern suggests third-grade math may require monitoring. English language arts shows steadier performance. Science scores lag behind both math and ELA, which a parent may want to explore further with the school to understand support strategies in that subject. The setting is rural, family-oriented, and rooted in place rather than transient.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
