Much of the growth in the town and surrounding community is due to the academic excellence of Lexington School District One. Because of their innovative approach and commitment to education excellence, Lexington School District One is the fastest growing school district in the state. And, along with School District Five, consistently ranks in the state's top 3 for SAT scores. But, it doesn't stop there. Lexington is within minutes of a nationally recognized university, many colleges, and one of the finest technical colleges in the southeast.
