Lexington High School provided a rigorous academic experience which prepared me well for college. However, it's culture can be tough and students as it places a lot of pressure on you and pits you against your peers.

The school is literally falling apart. It's so disappointing that a town as affluent as Lexington cannot get its' act together around a new high school. There is no room to eat in the cafeteria. Teachers are generally good, but there are still teachers who are uninspiring and just don't know how to...
