GreatSchools Rating
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.

Lexington high school has been an amazing experience for me. From the amazing history teachers to the cross country and track teams this school is amazing. It always feels like my teachers are supporting me no matter what, I've never felt excluded here. Clubs such as DECA, NHS, SNHS, Beta Club, and Key club help keep the day interesting and help me to volunteer with my community, which is my passion.

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!
