Summary:
Lexington City Schools has only one high school, Lexington Senior High School, which serves a diverse student population with a high percentage of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, scoring below state averages on end-of-course tests and receiving 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger for the past three years.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, Lexington Senior High School's proficiency rates range from 27.5% in Math I to 48.3% in Math III, compared to state averages of 36.9% and 57.6%, respectively. The school's student population is 98.71% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage that may contribute to the academic challenges.
While the school's diverse student body could present both opportunities and challenges, the persistent low performance suggests that a multifaceted approach, addressing factors such as effective resource allocation, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Lexington Senior High School and support the Lexington City Schools district.
