Summary:
The Lexington City Schools district in North Carolina consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and African American students, and faces challenges due to high poverty levels, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools.
While the district as a whole performs below the state averages on academic assessments, two elementary schools stand out as relatively higher-performing: Southwest Elementary Global Academy and Charles England Elementary School. These schools have higher proficiency rates than the district and state in several grade levels and subjects, with Charles England Elementary particularly excelling in 3rd grade math.
The data also reveals that the Lexington City Schools district spends between $9,220 and $14,927 per student, with the alternative school South Lexington Developmental Center having the highest per-student spending at $30,321. The student-teacher ratios range from 8.3 at the alternative school to 18.3 at the high school, with the elementary schools generally having the lowest ratios.
