Lexington Public Schools

The Lexington Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district faces some academic challenges, particularly at the high school and middle school levels, there are also standout schools like Bryan Elementary School that demonstrate the potential for improvement.

Bryan Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, with the best proficiency rates in NSCAS English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science among the elementary schools. Additionally, Sandoz Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, which may contribute to its relatively strong performance on NSCAS assessments compared to the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with the Lexington High School and Lexington Middle School performing well below the state averages in key subjects. This suggests a need to investigate the underlying factors and implement targeted interventions to address these challenges. Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at Morton Elementary and Sandoz Elementary, indicate the importance of addressing the needs of students from disadvantaged backgrounds to improve overall district performance.
