As a former teacher in this district who has taught in multiple states, I can say that Lex-Rich 5 is doing things right. Their teachers are well trained and kept up to date on the most current teaching practices that positively impact student achievement. They emphasize the importance of valuing the "whole child" and work to be an inclusive learning environment for students of all backgrounds. I would highly encourage parents to enroll their children in this district!
Lexington-Richland District 5 has always been one of the premier districts in SC, and it's for a good reason. The teachers value the future of each of their students and make it an engaging learning environment for kids. I love being an LR5 student and I would not want to be anywhere else!
My child has been in the school district 2 years and attended 2 schools. 1st year was 4K, based on our school zone. Academically, it left a lot to be desired. Teacher-wise, was average. PTO and SIC was fantastic! Administration was very good. 2nd year was 5K Montessori Magnet. Overall it left a lot to be desired, because it was the 1st year the magnet program was offered. Academically, it was slightly above average, but I have heard their plans to improve it and it seems promising. Teacher-wise, it left a lot to be desired. They struggled to provide teachers who were educated/experienced on teaching the Montessori method. PTO and SIC was virtually non-existing which had a direct negative impact on parent involvement. Administration also has a lot of room for improvement, but they are making an effort. The school district, as a whole, has very good resources. The individual schools just need to have solid PTO and SIC to ensure the resources are deliverable and used in their schools.
