About This School

A closer look at High School

Lexington's high school program helps students become college and career ready. The curriculum helps students meet New York State's learning standards and includes several dual-credit courses offered through the Information and Computing Studies Department of the National Technical Institute of the Deaf (NTID) at Rochester Institute of Technology. The High School comprises grades 9 through 12 and, as a registered high school program, awards the Regents diploma, the local diploma, the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) certificate and the Skills and Achievement Commencement Credential (SACC). Lexington offers tutoring to help students prepare for the Regents exams and the ACT, funded by a Title One grant under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
