The Lexington School District is located in and around a small rural community situated along Route #55 north of the twin cities of Bloomington and Normal. The city of Lexington has a population of approximately 1800 people. The school district is a unit district that encompasses 80 square miles around and including the city of Lexington. Most of the land use is agricultural with only a small portion used for public or commercial business.

Approximately 600 students in grades PreK-12 are housed at one campus located in Lexington. While the school population has remained stable of the last several years, additional programs and services have caused a strain on building usage. The main campus is landlocked with residential buildings on all four sides. Community support for the schools and high expectations for services provide interesting challenges.

The district employs 45 full time teachers, and 3 administrators with a total school budget of over $6 million. The operating expense per pupil for the 2005-2006 school year was $9137. District program initiatives include an outstanding Pre-school "At-Risk" program and excellent integration of technology into the curriculum beginning in Kindergarten. High school students are able to supplement their course work with Heartland Community College courses offered during the school day on our campus. Students whose special educational needs cannot be met in-district are bussed to neighboring districts. District Low-Income population is 12% of student enrollment. Student attendance rate is over 95% in the district. At the current time there are no Limited English Proficient students enrolled in the district.
