Lafayette High School

This is school is okay. I went here for 3 years. I dropped out my senior year because I walked into an advanced criminal justice course and they were watching Napoleon Dynamite. There are some really great teachers here, there are also some really bad ones. Good for the arts, bad for math/science students.

This is the best school ever! My child loves going here. They have the best teachers available that meet every childs needs. They also have a great library, with 30 updated computers and a printer and copy machine available to all students. They buy new books weekly, my child loves it!!!!

Both of my daughters have attended and graduated from Lafayette and have received an excellent education there. Both are going on to college with a very large portion of their expenses covered by scholarship. Improvements suggested would be a stronger guidance program to help with locating more scholarship money as we received no help from their councelors.

This school is doing so much for me and i love attending this school here. Disipline is resonable and the teachers are respectful as you are to them.

The last great middle class high school. Lafayette has neither very rich nor very poor students, just the broad middle. This means almost everyone gets along well, be they white, black, Latino or Asian. Administration is anti student and anti parent. But the teachers more than make up for it, giving huge amounts of attention to each individual. The teachers are very well qualified, and many teach at local colleges in the evenings. Seven have doctorates. Principal has eliminated many extracurricular activities, and discourages electives, but the classes and activities that remain are excellent. Not a warm family environment, but still a good school, certainly the best in Lexington.

Great teachers. I wasn't so sure about the principals, they seemed shaky. Kids aren't allowed to stay late after school. I had to pick my son up after school at 5:30 and found him sitting outside in the middle of winter because the assistant principal told him he couldn't wait inside. But the other students seem nice and the teachers seem to have a good head on their shoulders. Typical school food, typical lunch ladies. Overall, a typical public school.
