Summary:
Lexington City Public Schools in Virginia has only one middle school, Lylburn Downing Middle, which serves grades 6-8. This standout school is ranked among the top middle schools in the state, consistently outperforming Virginia's averages on state assessments and providing a high-quality education to its relatively affluent student population.
Lexington City Public Schools is home to just one middle school, but it is an exceptional institution. Lylburn Downing Middle is ranked 69th out of 417 middle schools in Virginia for the 2023-2024 school year and 32nd out of 422 in 2022-2023, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with 100% proficiency in Algebra I for 8th graders and high proficiency rates in other subjects like mathematics and reading.
Lylburn Downing Middle's success can be attributed to its low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, as well as the relatively affluent student population, with only 25.47% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's predominantly White student body (77.64%) may raise questions about equity and access for students from diverse backgrounds. Despite this, Lylburn Downing Middle's high per-student spending of $10,345 and its consistent top rankings among Virginia middle schools make it a standout institution within the Lexington City Public Schools district.
