Very poor teaching at this school and God forbid you are a man parent and want to be involved in your child's learning. I've had to go to the county administration three years just to get report cards pictures or anything that has to do with my child . The principal made all the students fill out a very informative paper asking questions like , do your parents live together is either parent in jail and on and on . If you have any other choice please do so . The average student is well below the national average and the school ranks 880 out of 1100 in the state.

"Wonderful retirement location. The two universities (W&L and VMI) add to the uniqueness of Lexington. Young singles may find it boring but Roanoke and Harrisonburg are not far away. Lots of volunteer opportunities for retirees."
