I think this is a really good school in comparison to other schools in Lexington Kentucky. My…read moredaughter is a sophomore here and she has not had any issues with any students or staff. In fact, they are helping her get to the grade she is supposed to be in and works with her when she needs extra time on assignments or needs to complete missing assignments. They offer tutoring which is really nice as well. They offer lots of sports and clubs so children can get involved as much as possible. Great school.

Lafayette is a descent school, but it has really been let go of, the desks are awful and the…read morestudents seem to be the ones in control not the teachers, and to make matters worse, they just purchased new "smart boards" for the teachers which nobody asked for, yet the bathrooms are derelict and the desks are in shambles.

The schools in Lexington are not nearly as good as they are currently perceived. There is an…read moreenergetic, dynamic Superintendant who has done a masterful job with public relations and optics. As a result, the schools are not considered an issue right now (no mention that I heard in the mayoral race). But the schools are pretty mediocre (some schools are great, as good as any private school education while others are very troubled) and the "main office" is TERRIBLE. It's as bad as any bureaucracy I could name.

0/10 would definitely not recommend. Ruined my life forever and the kids are terrible and the…read moreteachers don't even care even if you talk to them. Counselors tell parents everything, making the students feel as they can't talk to anyone. Also the teachers r lowk terrible besides Mr stites and bowmer and Mrs proffit!! They are probably the only people I will miss in the whole school. All of my friends hate this school and fights be going on alllll the time and the ceiling is always leaking and one year a spider outbreak happened and I could even go into the classroom we had to use extra ones it was terrible and it took them a year to get them out and kids are always vaping in the restroom and doing uhm other things...

Former JCMS student, now I've graduated. My experience here was horrid, few good memories. The gym…read moreteacher and orchestra teacher (assuming they are still employed here) were amazing and the only redeeming qualities. Math teacher Mrs. Britney Richardson traumatized me so hard I remember her 5 years after, we got into a very serious verbal argument one morning where she yelled at me in front of all my peers, dismissing every explanation I had and putting me down at any chance. My breaking point (where I chose to sit in silence for the rest of the school year) was when she said with full confidence that I was "playing with needles, showing them off to other kids.", completely smearing and humiliating me. It was 7th grade, I had just been diagnosed a Type 1 diabetic and was showing a few of my closest friends how to properly use life saving emergency medication, as instructed by my doctor (glad I did because she clearly knew nothing of my diagnosis, if I passed out in her class I probably would've died there.). I was horrifically stunned and upset, and when she saw my gapping mouth she got a real cocky, mean smirk on her face, like she had outwitted a 13 year old. She should've been fired or reprimanded but no. It is still extremely upsetting, even as an adult with a diploma. Worst teacher I've ever had in 6 different schools. Wouldn't send my kid there if it was the last option.

The school is professionally run with very competent administrators and strong technology support…read more The sports programs are excellent and supplement academic learning and personal development. The curriculum is challenging with opportunity for advanced placement and partnering with two colleges for education beyond High School. The curriculum is not the narrow Classical Christian Education. Faith and bible teaching does provide a foundation for lifelong learning.

On busy days, it does get fairly congested though so make sure you leave early. The fields themselves are nice with an exception for a few that are pretty lumpy. Overall, this is a nice complex!

I kind of favor schools, not really because of academics (what they stand for), but for their…read morefootball programs. Yes, I went to UK because that was one college that I had applied to that actually had a football program! But unlike UK, this high school actually chose a mascot that makes sense. I have yet to see a cat of the "wild" species. Apparently, the students had taken a vote on Broncos, which is fitting! So it goes to write that I found out that this school, which opened in 2017, had started enrolling and by the end of the season, their football team was ranked 25th in the state! Can you believe that?! It is the highest ranked public school football team in Lexington! So for that achievement, I have a team to follow (not as closely as college football mind you); however, it is still something. Also, I have to write that their website was easy to follow, when I had scrutinized the scheduling and the tour was amazing, very beautiful surroundings and lay out! Apparently, their first game is a scrimmage tomorrow and they actually play more local high schools than last year, one will get to see them actually test themselves as the best public school in Lexington! Who knew that a high school could throw a football team together and have the team go onto being one of the top ranked schools, in football, their first year? AMAZING! To put it in perspective, rankings in 2017: Frederick Douglass #25 Tates Creek #29 Henry Clay ranked #33 Lafayette #57 Bryan Station #110 Paul Laurence Dunbar #159

He is thriving academically, personally, athletically and most importantly spiritually. He was a kid last year and now he's a fine young man! I attribute the school for a large portion of this.

God Bless the teachers, the Administration, the Coaches, volunteers and everyone within the walls of this fine institution. I appreciate and Thank You!

Winburn Middle School has its strengths and challenges. The teachers are generally dedicated and…read morepassionate about their subjects, often going the extra mile to engage students. There are some great extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their interests outside the classroom. However, the school could improve in communication with parents and the community. Sometimes, important updates or events are not well communicated, leading to confusion. Additionally, while the facilities are adequate, some areas could use renovations to create a more conducive learning environment. Overall, Winburn Middle School has potential, but there are areas that need attention to enhance the overall experience for students and families.
