The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience in this school is good, but it does not over achieve. I appreciate some of the good teachers I have had, but some of the teachers I have had were questionable on whether this is just a job for them or something they actually want to pursue. The bathrooms in this school are not kept up and our cafeteria food is not appetizing. Overall, I am ready to graduate and to get out of this school.

Overall I've had a positive experience at Lexington High School. As I reflect on the past 4 years there I remember many wonderful teachers as well as students. There have been many ways for me to get involved and many ways for me to serve my community. I am thankful to attend a school that has so many different opportunities. From sports to academics to clubs, there is a place for anyone and everyone.

People either really love it or truly hate Lexington High. From my experience and from others, we were ready to leave as soon as possible. However, Lexington is a decent SC public school, that helps students get into great colleges, if that is their path. Other than that, admin sucks, teacher were eh, and they made sports a big deal.

Transfer your kids to river bluff. My last day and I have been screamed at multiple times for things I can’t control and don’t understand. What a way to say goodbye.

Would not want my children to go to the school I am about to graduate from as longs as this poor school atmosphere is maintained.

Majority of the teachers are not concerned if students are understanding the material learned, students are told to go to ILT labs, which is most of the time not even with their teacher and causes more confusion from the different teaching style, classroom vs. ILT lab. Just feels like they are pushi...

Excellent school whose rating is being dragged down by a politically unfair rating system that overweights poor minority/low income test scores. Look at the school average overall... excellent!
