Sayre School Reviews
Rating 4.07 out of 5 42 reviews
Sayre has amazing teachers who are dedicated to educated their students. Learning does not stop when you walk out of the classroom. Weekly, I get an email from a teacher with various resources about a topic that was asked about in class. A majority of the students take their education very seriously, and this provides for a very intellectually stimulating environment. Many projects are assigned to groups, which helps build communication and teamwork skills.
Another key perk of Sayre is its well-roundedness. At some schools, one department will be great, but other departments may lack the needed resources. At Sayre, all the departments are top-notch. This allows students to focus on the area of their choosing, not what the school chooses for them.
The main reason I love Sayre is the staff's wiliness to bring student's ideas to life. For example, I thought the school would benefit from solar panels. I presented my reasons why, and now we are the first school in Lexington with solar!

This high school is very small, which can be its best asset or worst feature. The great teachers are the highlight. However Sayre is under poor leadership at the head of school level and other heads can't compensate. Before the pandemic we were not impressed with communication, handling of significant events, or organization. However after the pandemic we have been appalled with how communication, organization and planning has been handled. It feels as if no one is in charge and healthy guidelines are being ignored. They seem to believe that just being open is the most critical piece, but providing a safe environment and kids continuing to learn is actually most important. There is no community feeling here, your community becomes the sport you play or activities you choose (which are VERY limited) nothing brings the school together as a whole. There is no academic rigor here, you have to be very self motivated to be high-achieving. I would not recommend Sayre, not worth the money.
Sayre is the preeminent college prep school in Central Kentucky. The classes are rigorous and teachers are extremely knowledgeable on their subject. While not every AP course is offered, the majority are. It’s also not uncommon for an elective to be offered in a field a student is interested in.
In terms of community, I would describe it as small and tight knit. To my knowledge, the largest grade is around 80 kids. This ensures small class sizes that facilitate maximum student-instructor interaction. Students and teachers are generally caring. That said there is definitely a preppy element to the school. Unless you are extremely wealthy, you may struggle to fit in with everyone. Sayre administration often seems to show favoritism to these students due to their parents being donors. Still though, if you play sports or engage in other extracurriculars, you should be able to make friends. Finally Sayre isn’t super diverse, but that’s mostly due to area demographics. Overall great
