Lexington Junior High

Summary:

Lexington Junior High is a public middle school located in Cypress, California, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 1,283 students. This exceptional school consistently ranks in the top 15% of California middle schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and significantly outperforms the Anaheim Union High School District and the state of California in academic proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

Lexington Junior High's academic performance is truly impressive, with 65.33% of students proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 42.63% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's 7th and 8th-grade ELA proficiency rates are around 65-67%, significantly higher than the district's 38-35% and the state's 47-46%. In Mathematics, Lexington's proficiency rates are also exceptional, with 49-51% of students proficient or better, compared to 22-25% for the district and 31-36% for the state. The school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST assessment, are also significantly higher than the district and state, with 44.21% of 8th-grade students proficient or better, compared to 21.49% for the district and 28.95% for the state.

Lexington Junior High's performance is particularly noteworthy in its support for diverse student subgroups. The school's English Language Learner (ELL) students rank in the top 5% of California middle schools for ELA and Mathematics proficiency, and the school's African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status (SES) students also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% to 25% of California middle schools. While Lexington's overall performance is excellent, there may be opportunities to further improve in areas such as reducing chronic absenteeism and addressing the slightly higher student-teacher ratio. When compared to nearby schools, Lexington Junior High's performance is significantly stronger than other schools within the Anaheim Union High School District, but it faces stiffer competition from some high-performing schools in the neighboring ABC Unified School District and Los Alamitos Unified School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
