Lexington School District Two students posted gains in several core subject areas in statewide SC READY testing results released this week by the SC Department of Education, achieving test scores at the highest level in more than five years. Lexington Two elementary and middle school test takers’ gains outpaced those of statewide test takers in several areas: fourth- and fifth-graders outpaced statewide test takers in English/Language Arts; fourth-, fifth-, sixth- and eighth-graders outpaced statewide testers in math; and all test takers outpaced statewide in science. In addition, among tested Lexington Two students, 24 achieved maximum scores in the most recent testing, the largest number in recent years. Read more about the results by clicking this link.

Welcome to Lexington School District Two, where Champions for Children is more than a just a theme. It is a leadership standard. It represents how we make decisions, how we support one another, and how we create learning environments where every child is known, valued, supported, and challenged. Our district is committed to building Destination Schools — schools where families choose to be, students are excited to learn, employees are proud to serve, and the community sees excellence in action.
