This school just keeps on giving us tests even though they haven't taught us yet. Like boo girl how…read moream I supposed to know this. Some teachers are mid but like none of them are great. Also what in the world are the bathrooms! (they are nastyyyyyyy) like girl clean them. Also there are like fights every other friken dayyyyy. Also the food high-key sucks how did they pass the food inspection. Also Mrs.Hunt made me cry like 3 times last year and I was behind in math cause she didn't teach me anything.

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.

I'm at the school a lot whether it's with my kid or with my dance team. Although it seems clean,…read moreit's an older building with several issues. The gym is big. It accommodates several people. It shows the history of the different athletic achievements. There's a really nice trophy case that's full of accomplishments! The cafeteria seems to hold different sport team practices at the same time as well as hallways and anywhere else athletes can find a place to practice. The school is huge, but looks like it possibly has a leak and mold issue. It's interesting that this school doesn't have 2 gyms like most in Fayette County. Overall, the campus is huge and an elementary and middle school shares its location. I think it just needs upgrades for the students and teachers sake.

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.

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 office staff is great, the principal is the best elementary principal I've ever seen. He knows every child. And is highly involved in all school functions. Doesn't pass it to an assistant. One of my children had been to several schools prior to stonewall during elementary years due to my husbands job. This was the only school he was ever happy at. Teachers are great and so much parent participation. Small town feel but at a bigger school with all the modern technology the kids need. You could not ask for a better school for your kids to start off at. You won't want them to leave!

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.
