In fact, they are helping her get to the grade she is supposed to be in and works with her when she needs extra time on assignments or needs to complete missing assignments. They offer tutoring which is really nice as well. They offer lots of sports and clubs so children can get involved as much as possible. Great school.

As a result, the schools are not considered an issue right now (no mention that I heard in the mayoral race). But the schools are pretty mediocre (some schools are great, as good as any private school education while others are very troubled) and the "main office" is TERRIBLE. It's as bad as any bureaucracy I could name.

Counselors tell parents everything, making the students feel as they can't talk to anyone. Also the teachers r lowk terrible besides Mr stites and bowmer and Mrs proffit!! They are probably the only people I will miss in the whole school. All of my friends hate this school and fights be going on alllll the time and the ceiling is always leaking and one year a spider outbreak happened and I could even go into the classroom we had to use extra ones it was terrible and it took them a year to get them out and kids are always vaping in the restroom and doing uhm other things...

Math teacher Mrs. Britney Richardson traumatized me so hard I remember her 5 years after, we got into a very serious verbal argument one morning where she yelled at me in front of all my peers, dismissing every explanation I had and putting me down at any chance. My breaking point (where I chose to sit in silence for the rest of the school year) was when she said with full confidence that I was "playing with needles, showing them off to other kids.", completely smearing and humiliating me. It was 7th grade, I had just been diagnosed a Type 1 diabetic and was showing a few of my closest friends how to properly use life saving emergency medication, as instructed by my doctor (glad I did because she clearly knew nothing of my diagnosis, if I passed out in her class I probably would've died there.). I was horrifically stunned and upset, and when she saw my gapping mouth she got a real cocky, mean smirk on her face, like she had outwitted a 13 year old. She should've been fired or reprimanded but no. It is still extremely upsetting, even as an adult with a diploma. Worst teacher I've ever had in 6 different schools. Wouldn't send my kid there if it was the last option.

I was bullied by almost the entire grade when I went here, being one of the most obvious neurodivergent kids at the time, with undiagnosed autism. The kids would make fun of me to my face and behind my back and purposely exclude me all to make me feel bad. They would purposely set off meltdowns for me because they thought it was funny, and it set me back several years on improvement because of it. Most of the students I thought where my friends, where not my friends, and it gave my trust issues I still deal with to this day. The special education was not any better either. I was placed into it for reading, despite the fact I didn't really struggle with it in the first place, but they would treat us like we are infants that didn't know how to read and would make us go over the basics over and over again, even at ages we obviously know the basics. The school is supposed to be based on Christian values, but when it came to the treatment of disabled and neurodivergent students, it felt lacking. The school was great academically, as I understand more about subjects more than other peers my age due to how they taught us at the school, but how I was treated by the other students, and their treatment having lasting effects, I don't have much I can look back on in joy before I remember the bad.

I kind of favor schools, not really because of academics (what they stand for), but for their…read morefootball programs. Yes, I went to UK because that was one college that I had applied to that actually had a football program! But unlike UK, this high school actually chose a mascot that makes sense. I have yet to see a cat of the "wild" species. Apparently, the students had taken a vote on Broncos, which is fitting! So it goes to write that I found out that this school, which opened in 2017, had started enrolling and by the end of the season, their football team was ranked 25th in the state! Can you believe that?! It is the highest ranked public school football team in Lexington! So for that achievement, I have a team to follow (not as closely as college football mind you); however, it is still something. Also, I have to write that their website was easy to follow, when I had scrutinized the scheduling and the tour was amazing, very beautiful surroundings and lay out! Apparently, their first game is a scrimmage tomorrow and they actually play more local high schools than last year, one will get to see them actually test themselves as the best public school in Lexington! Who knew that a high school could throw a football team together and have the team go onto being one of the top ranked schools, in football, their first year? AMAZING! To put it in perspective, rankings in 2017: Frederick Douglass #25 Tates Creek #29 Henry Clay ranked #33 Lafayette #57 Bryan Station #110 Paul Laurence Dunbar #159

Winburn Middle School has its strengths and challenges. The teachers are generally dedicated and…read morepassionate about their subjects, often going the extra mile to engage students. There are some great extracurricular activities that allow students to explore their interests outside the classroom. However, the school could improve in communication with parents and the community. Sometimes, important updates or events are not well communicated, leading to confusion. Additionally, while the facilities are adequate, some areas could use renovations to create a more conducive learning environment. Overall, Winburn Middle School has potential, but there are areas that need attention to enhance the overall experience for students and families.
