This is not a good school very unprofessional and rude people. Not everyone but major of them. My son went there to years. 1st year was good because he had a teacher that was eilling to help.But staff overall is poor.

Lexington Elementary is an excellent learning institution. The administrator as well as the staff believe that all students can learn as evidenced by the fact that for the past 3 years this school has made Adequate Yearly Progress. This school has a print rich environment and focuses on pride in your culture and community. The students are encouraged to be good citizens at school and after school. The principal's daily messages include not walking on the lawn, of your neighbors, the school's or anywhere in your community. In addition the students are encouraged to be cordial & respectful to their neighbors. The entire athmosphere is conducive to learning at every level. Staff continously model best practices that resignate to the students. Lexington is a pleasant place where students are the priority.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
