1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAllowed my child to consistently get bullied without punishing the other child or bringing it to my attention that they had been hit on several occasions. Also the car rider dismissal is disorganized and hazardous. They make parents to sit out on the street and hold up 2 lanes of traffic, instead of utilizing the parking lot for what it is intended for.Parent Review8mo ago - Lafayette High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchools send out fees through their bookkeeping department which has nothing to do with a student's performance in a classroom. I check my student’s grades about once a week since academic success is a priority in our household. They clearly understand that they are solely responsible for the grades they earn which is based on their effort. They know their grades are a reflection of how hard they work and that their only job is to learn so they would have to answer to me if anything was less than expected.Parent Review1mo ago - Lexington Trad Magnet School

"It’s right next to the park, which is great for walking and playing with your dogs. However, some houses in these areas do not have backyards, so it is difficult if you have a dog constantly needing access to the outdoors or accustomed to a backyard. "
- Laura W.

"The commute is okay. I work in Nicholasville so we head out on Tate’s Creek in the morning and it’s not too bad. The stop lights are pretty annoying. "

"Must leash and walk quite a way to allow dogs to potty. Small yards some not fenced. Historical neighborhood which means people are pickier."
- Angieclift

"W. Second St. Lexington, Ky is a great downtown area to walk or just enjoy yourself at a nearby restaurant, pub, brewery or distillery. W. Second street is conveniently located within short walking distance to Gratz park, the home of Mary Todd Lincoln or Triangle park. Do a little shopping at Festival Market, Victorian Square or a wine shop. Watch the Kentucky Wildcats play at Rupp Arena. Thursday, Friday and Saturdays are usually the busiest times of the week for this area. Very close to public and highly rated private schools in a matter of just a few minutes walking. Bus stops located on the same street. Excellent historical part of Lexington, Ky to hang out and enjoy yourself."
