Lexington Public Schools is a public school district in Lexington, Massachusetts, United States. The district consists of six elementary schools, two middle schools, and a high school. Each elementary and middle school is named after an important figure in Lexington's history.
There are nine schools in the Lexington Public School district:
Lexington's six elementary schools - Bowman, Bridge, Joseph Estabrook, Fiske, Harrington, and Maria Hastings - serve students in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Bowman Elementary is named for the descendants of Nathaniel Bowman, the progenitor of an important family in Lexington's history. The current principal at Bowman is Mary Anton-Oldenburg.
Bridge Elementary is named for the descendants of Matthew Bridge, to whom the once-farmland around the school site formerly belonged. A mural on the front side of the school building represents "working together". The current principal at Bridge is Meg Colella.
Bridge was a High Performing National Blue Ribbon School in 2010.
Estabrook Elementary is named after Joseph Estabrook (1669–1733), the first schoolteacher in Lexington. It is notable for being the oldest Lexington Elementary school. The current principal at Estabrook is Jeffrey LaBroad.
The school garnered nationwide attention from the David Parker controversy, when parents sued the Lexington school system, arguing that their children were being coerced by public school teachers "to affirm the correctness and the normalcy of homosexuality" and same-sex marriage. The bulk of the legality of the controversy revolved around whether parents have a right to receive parental notification and opt their elementary school children out of such content. Federal courts ruled against the Parkers.
