New Lexington Schools

What New Lexington Schools does

New Lexington Schools is a public K-12 school district and government state entity headquartered in New Lexington, Ohio, serving students from preschool through 12th grade across four academic buildings — New Lexington High School, New Lexington Middle School, New Lexington Elementary, and Junction City Elementary — supplemented by a Preschool at 1605 Airport Rd and a Workforce Development Center at 101 3rd Ave offering career-technical pathways. The district also operates the 21st Century Before & Beyond the Bell before- and after-school program with free meals. Funding flows are typical of an Ohio public school district: state per-pupil foundation aid, local property taxes, federal Title I/II-A/II-D and IDEA-B funds, the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for universal free meals, USDA Summer Food Service Program participation, and American Rescue Plan–backed Extended Learning programming.

Technically, the district is a consumer of, not a builder of, educational technology. Its core platforms are Infinite Campus (student information system and parent portal), LINQ/SchoolCMS (website content management), Follett Destiny (library), SameGoal (IEP management), Navigate Prepared (emergency management), GoFXM FieldMagic (maintenance and help-desk ticketing), and the CLiC Data-powered District Dashboard for KPI reporting. Adaptive learning is delivered through vendor products (Lexia Core5, Renaissance Accelerated Reader, Freckle, Xtra Math, Starfall, Study Island, GoMath!, Calvert Learning, True Flix, Discovery Education, Scholastic), with single sign-on via Clever.

The business model is a public funding model, not a commercial one: there are no paying customers in the traditional sense. Tuition for core K-12 education is funded by the public; preschool tuition is free for income-eligible families under documented thresholds; before/after and summer meal programs are free; community members may join dinner at the Before & Beyond the Bell program for $5 per meal. The constituent base — district families — is captive by attendance boundaries, while program breadth (special education, gifted K-12, Title I intervention using KRAL/DIBELS/MAPS diagnostics and SRA Corrective Reading, College Credit Plus with Hocking College, IBEW apprenticeship credentials, FFA and agricultural programs on a school farm) functions as the district's value proposition for retention.
