About Lexington Independent School District
Lexington Independent School District serves approximately 900 students across three campuses in the city of Lexington and surrounding Lee County in central Texas. The district covers a large area of post-oak savanna and Blackland Prairie agricultural land along US Highway 77 and State Highway 696, about 55 miles east of downtown Austin. Lexington is the county seat of Lee County, with a courthouse square, county offices, and a small commercial district serving the surrounding farming and ranching community. The city has a population of approximately 1,300, and the district boundary extends across a significant portion of Lee County, encompassing working cattle ranches, hay farms, and timber land. The area has maintained its agricultural identity with limited suburban development, as it sits beyond the current edge of Austin metro commuter growth.
Real estate within Lexington ISD is among the most affordable in the central Texas region. Single-family homes in the city of Lexington typically range from $100K to $300K, with older homes on large lots at the lower end and updated or newer homes with acreage toward the higher end. Rural properties with 10 to 50 acres list from $250K to $600K, and larger ranch tracts of 100 or more acres are available at land values of $8,000 to $15,000 per acre depending on timber, water, and road access. Manufactured homes on rural lots are common and start around $80K. New subdivision development is minimal; most construction consists of individual custom homes or barndominiums on purchased acreage. The median home price in the district is approximately $210K.
Lexington ISD operates Lexington Elementary for pre-K through 5th grade, Lexington Middle School for 6th through 8th grade, and Lexington High School for 9th through 12th grade. Lexington High School enrolls approximately 250 students and competes in UIL Class 2A athletics. The football program has been competitive in its classification, and the FFA chapter is one of the most active student organizations, reflecting the agricultural economy of the district. Career and Technical Education pathways are available in agricultural science, welding, and animal science. The district offers limited dual-credit courses through Blinn College. Student-to-teacher ratios are below the state average, and TEA accountability ratings have been Met Standard.
Lexington is approximately 55 miles east of downtown Austin via US-290 and US-77, a drive of about 60 to 70 minutes. Giddings, the other principal town in Lee County, is about 15 minutes south on US-77. Taylor is approximately 35 minutes west, and Bryan-College Station is about 60 minutes northeast. The area does not have interstate access; US-77 and US-290 are the primary highway corridors. Most working residents commute to Giddings, Taylor, Round Rock, or Austin, or work locally in agriculture, county government, education, and small businesses. The Lee County Courthouse on the Lexington square and the school district are the primary institutional employers in town. Natural gas production in the area provides some additional economic activity and mineral lease income for landowners.
