Lexington Middle

Summary:

Lexington Middle is a public middle school in Lexington, Missouri, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school is part of the Lexington R-V School District, which is ranked 342 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lexington Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Missouri middle schools, performing significantly below state and district averages on state assessments. For example, in 2022-2023, the percentage of students proficient or better in Math ranged from 10.7% to 25.4%, compared to the state average of 30% to 43.7%. The school also has a higher percentage of minority students (18.94%) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (53.41% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) compared to nearby schools like Oak Grove Middle, Odessa Middle, Lafayette County Middle, and Richmond Middle.

Despite spending more per student ($9,662 in 2020-2021) than the nearby schools, which range from $8,549 to $11,500 per student, Lexington Middle's academic performance remains significantly lower. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is also higher than the nearby schools, which range from 11.9 to 14.3 students per teacher. These factors suggest that Lexington Middle may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning, and the school's persistent underperformance compared to the state, district, and nearby schools indicates the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
