Lexington High School has allowed me to further my academic career and gave me the resources I needed to prepare thus far for life after high school. Not only do I find the academics at Lexington High School to maintain great variety and challenge, but I also think that the school does a wonderful job of taking into account the student's feedback within specific classes or regarding specific professors. One thing that I think Lexington High School could improve on is their accessibility to mental health resources. Throughout my four years at Lexington High School, I often found that access to speak with teachers or counselors was limited unless you had already formed a strong relationship with said person. Another thing that I think Lexington High School could improve on is their overall treatment of students participating in the METCO program. Although I am not a part, I think that certain efforts could be made to create a better relationship with METCO students and the community.
We moved to this community where my child began 9th grade in 2019. He had attended an independent K-12 school in Fairfield, Connecticut for Middle School. It was truly an unexpected and refreshing from experience for him to be in a larger and more socioeconomically and ethnically diverse community. The education has been top notch even during the pandemic and he is so much happier with more options for clubs, sports teams and class offerings. Had we not been planning to move, we still were considering moving him to our local public school for high school in a town which is similar demographically to Lexington, but we will say that Lexington is special.
This school is ok. There are plenty of clubs to join however they fill up fast, and after October it is impossible to join them. The sporting options are limited, and extremely competitive to get into. The teachers are usually very nice and passionate about their jobs, I have only ever had 1-2 mean teachers. What the teachers do however is never monitored by the upper staff, and once even, I had a teacher who would take up to 15 points off your test for mis -behaviour. A lot of the teachers though, are amazing, and my math teacher even made me enjoy math class, as I used to highly dislike the subject. The kids can be very nice depending on your class, and often I have noticed administration tries to spread out the cliques along many classes to force them to have different friends. If you are going to this school or if you are thinking of going, as long as you are kind, outgoing, somewhat involved in activities, and taking time on school work, you will have little issues.
