Lexington District and Curriculum
Lexington Public Schools are committed to giving each student a high-quality educational experience. Lexington Public Schools has a population growing in diversity, and this school system respects and recognizes each student for their uniqueness. In curriculum and instructional development in this school system, four core areas are focused on: Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. The rigorous standards followed have been set by the Nebraska State Department of Education.
We currently cover the following Lexington-area school district: Lexington Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lexington District Curriculum
In Mathematics, the learning strands of this school district contain a wide variety of geometric standards. These standards include the acquisition of coordinate geometry through the specifications of locations and relationships, the ability to perform plotting on a coordinate plane, identifying quadrants in the planes, and finding the distance between points on a coordinate plane.
Comprising the Reading curriculum, the K-12 goals include the writing standards, which are very beneficial to the students’ reading development, as well as the development of their personal expression. The writing standard teaches students about the writing process, from brainstorming to the polished end-result of the writing. It also focuses on sentence structure, grammar, punctuation and spelling. Students are given many opportunities to explore and think for themselves while developing their own content for their writing. Research skills are also taught within this learning objective.

Chalk Talk: Language Arts vs. Reading: What’s the Difference?
Many times, Language Arts and Reading are used interchangeably within the school systems. When a teacher teaches reading, usually it is known that the teacher does, in fact, teach more than reading. In order for the children to learn how to read, they also must acquire the ability to write and use speaking and listening skills. Language Arts is a more broad term for the teaching of reading, as it encompasses all areas of our language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Usually, Language Arts refers to teachers that teach middle school or secondary school where the courses are more challenging. This is not always the case, but many times it rings true. In the elementary grades, the class is usually called reading, rather than Language Arts. Either way, the two titles are used to mean basically the same thing: the teaching of all aspects of our language: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
