Thank you for a great beginning.

“LCE, where learning is a life-long journey, not just a destination.”    

LCE is a place where we develop

life-long learners who demonstrate Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dependability, and Excellence (PRIDE) in their everyday lives.

“Committed to Excellence”

LCE Mission Statement

Excellence Everyday! That’s the Lions’ Way! Roar!

LCE School Motto

Give Respect

Strive to Obey

Have a positive Attitude

Give an appropriate Response

Our “Mane” Goal

There were two ratings for 2012-2013 (Met

Standards or Improvement Required.)

Based on TEA guidelines, Lexington Creek Elementary is rated as a Met Standards campus.

Accountability - The 4 Index System

Index 1 – Student Achievement

Index 2 – Student Progress

Index 3 – Closing Performance Gaps

Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness

Accountability - The 4 Index System

The new state accountability system incorporates

a wider range of measures than the old system. It is still very important for students to pass each test they take.

State Requirement 50 Lexington Creek 89

39 points higher than the state.

Index 1 - Student Achievement

The new state accountability system places

value on a student’s growth regardless of the achievement level of the student.

State Requirement 30 Lexington Creek 47

17 points higher than the state.

Index 2 -Student Progress

The new state accountability system places

increased emphasis on the performance of economically disadvantaged students while still focusing on the closing of achievement gaps for all student groups.

State Requirement 55 Lexington Creek 82

27 points higher than the state.

Index 3 – Closing Performance Gap

The new state accountability system holds

campuses and districts accountable for more than moving students to graduation. The system now values the types of courses students complete and the test scores of younger students that indicate they are on track for postsecondary success.

Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness

Increase reading/vocabulary across all academic

subjects . Small Group Instruction/Differentiated Instruction

for all subjects (variety of ways to learn material) Math manipulatives and problem solving activities Hands on Inquiry based science activities – use of

grade level mini-science labs Increase higher level thinking skills through more

rigorous activities In-school intervention times.

Strategies for Meeting our Goals

In an effort to increase our security at

LCE and for the protection of our students and faculty, effective Monday, September 23, 2013 parents and guardians will no longer be allowed to walk students to their classrooms. 

If you need to speak to your student’s teacher, please email for an appointment. 

Thank you for helping LCE to be a safe and secure school.

Poetry Focus

“Whose child is this?” I asked one day

Seeing a little one out at play “Mine”, said the parent with a tender smile”

“Mine to keep a little while. To bathe his hands and comb his hair

To tell him what he is to wear, To prepare him that he may always be good,

And each day do the things he should”.

Whose Child is This?

“Whose child is this?” I asked again.

As the door opened and someone came in. “Mine”, said the teacher with the same tender

smile. “Mine, to keep just for a little while.

To teach him how to be gentle and kind, To train and direct his dear little mind,

To help him live by every rule, And get the best he can from school”.

“Whose child is this?” I asked once more,

Just as the little one entered the door. “Ours”, said the parent and the teacher as

they smiled And each took the hand of the little child

“Ours to love and train together. Ours this blessed task forever.”
