I'm probably going to get bashed by the teacher at Bryan Station High for saying this again, so here we go again... Look to the south side for public schools. I'd recommend Cassidy, Rosa Parks, Maxwell (only if you're interested in Spanish immersion because of where that feeds into), Veteran's Park, and Julius Marks. For middle schools, I'd recommend Beaumont, or Morton. For high schools, I'd recommend Dunbar and Henry Clay. Lafayette High is starting to make a comeback, but it's not quite up there with HC and PLD. But you have a way to go until that time. For elementary schools, you won't go wrong with most schools on the south side. One school I would keep an eye on is Tates Creek (ES, MS, and HS). Though it's on the south side, it has a much rougher reputation amongst the schools here. Don't rule out private school if you can afford them. Sayre is an outstanding k- 12 school in downtown (where I attend). Check out
Sayre for more information. LCA (LEX Christian Acad) is a 6-12 school. Take a look at
LCA - Lexington Christian Academy TLS (The Lexington School) is a k- 8 school. Take a look at
The Lexington School (http://www.thelexingtonschool.org/pages/sitepage.cfm?page=75618 - broken link) You can also check out the Fayette County Public Schools website at
Fayette County Public Schools | Lexington, Kentucky | It's About Kids! All in all, FCPS are some of the best public schools in the state along with Jefferson County in Louisville, Oldham County, Warren County, Montgomery County, and Kenton/ Boone Counties. Of course, schools here may not seem quite up to Chicago standards or DC standards (what I always seem to compare schools to).
