2019 Best Schools in Madison CountyAbout this List

Model Laboratory High School

• Madison County Public Schools, KY
• 9-12
• 41

Senior: The environment at Model Laboratory School is unique from any other school. It's small size allows a very close, family-like atmosphere. The connection to Eastern Kentucky University allows many opportunities for students through the college itself, and the school is consequently very academically challenging. The only downfall to Model is the facilities themselves - the building is very old, and access to things like parking and sporting facilities are limited. Overall though, I have had an enriching experience at Model Laboratory High School and I will cherish the time I spent there.

Madison Central High School

• Madison County Public Schools, KY
• 9-12
• 236

Senior: I am a senior at Madison Central High School. Through my four years at the school I have been a witness to all sorts of different things that I disliked, liked, and felt indifferent towards, but one thing I would like to see change greatly is the acceptance of diversity in the school. Being a school in the South makes this extremely difficult, but I feel with the right guidance and a little push in the right direction things could dramatically improve for the better. This is the most pressing issue that I have witnessed over my four years, but other minor things that could improve is student and counselor connections and teacher patience.

Middle School Student: I moved from Clinton, Mississippi to here last summer, and this school is much better than my old school in Clinton. Berea Community Middle School is a bit small, so children are more involved and get more attention. The teachers teach efficiently and with passion, and the extracurricular/club activities are very involving and plentiful. What surprised me the most was that everyone is very nice, and there is virtually no discrimination. I was also surprised by the fact that there are vegetarian options for lunch. Also, attending this school is completely free,. so that's a plus! To be honest, I don't see any flaws with Berea Community, so it's a 5 star from me!

St. Mark Catholic School

• Private School
• Richmond, KY

Parent: This school is more like a family than it is a school. The class sizes are small, and the teachers know everyone in the school not just those in their class. Being a Christian school also allows them to inject character and faith building into their curriculum; and although they are Catholic they fully embrace all faiths. I could not be more thrilled with the education and passion for learning my child gets by attending St. Mark. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for an elementary school. (Note: There is also tuition assistance available as needed).
