Summary:
The city of Lexington, Mississippi is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all of which are part of the Holmes County Consolidated School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as the schools in this area consistently underperform compared to state averages across a range of metrics.
None of the schools in Lexington can be considered standouts, with all of them exhibiting low test scores, high poverty levels, and limited resources. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranges from just 10.5% to 40.6% across the schools, far below the state average of 39.7% to 57.7%. Additionally, all 4 schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty in the district. The per-student spending at these schools is also below the state average, suggesting potential resource constraints.
Another notable finding is the lack of diversity in the student populations, which are overwhelmingly African American, ranging from 97.38% to 99.57% across the schools. This lack of diversity may impact the educational experiences of the students. Overall, the data points to systemic challenges within the Holmes County Consolidated School District that need to be addressed in order to improve the quality of education for the students in Lexington.
