The students create the "prestige", not the school itself. The quality of education is very poor, and the school is too focused on directing its funds towards faculty salaries rather than doing anything about it. Don't be fooled by the people who call Lexington High School a good school; many of the students are bright, but they would excel in a better environment.

It's a high pressure school, especially for the kids who strive to excel. They call it a pressure-cooker for a reason. Kids are often immensely stressed, and they can be very harsh on themselves. However, on the other hand, the students are all very excellent at what they do - driven and hardworking. The music department is excellent, especially the orchestra program.

Great school that leaves the students well-prepared for college. The music and visual arts programs are high quality, and there are diverse offerings across all subjects.

My advice is not to take French at this school. The Dean and teachers are not interested in your child’s success or their ability to speak French after graduating high school. The primary objective of one teacher in the department is to impart her sense of social justice and political views on the c...

Did well enough for me...and then some. Some of the reviews are hilariously inaccurate.
