Lexington One is dedicated to supporting our military families and their children.

South Carolina is home to over 20,000 military children who, on average, move eight times during their K-12 education. Military parents, due to deployments, training, and assignments, can be absent for 6 to 8 years.

Lexington One recognizes this unique challenge. We currently have 287 active duty military children in elementary school, 135 in middle school, and 134 in high school. We are committed to providing these students with a stable and supportive learning environment, minimizing the disruptions caused by relocations and parental absences.

Lexington One is a Purple Star School District, which recognizes our significant commitment to supporting military families and students of servicemen and women. Designated district have to meet specific requirements, targeted training and implemented programs and resources designed to support the unique situations facing military students and families.

We also proudly endorse the Military Interstate Compact, ensuring a smooth educational transition for military children as they move between duty stations and districts. The compact guarantees continued enrollment in kindergarten programs, participation in special programs like gifted and talented or athletics, and streamlined transcript and course reviews to keep students on track for graduation. Additionally, Lexington One provides five excused absences for military children to spend precious time with a deploying or returning parent.
