Education
The education of our youth is taken very seriously by Henderson Countians. Out of that concern, Henderson County Schools, with 3,403 students, and the Lexington City School System, 900 students, provide quality learning opportunities for all the area's young people.

There are 11 schools in the county. Henderson County schools and Caywood City School received the Governor's A+ Award for Community Commitment to Excellence in Education.

Average class size per teacher is approximately 18 students. Teachers' salaries compare favorably to those paid throughout the state. Educational progress indicators show consistent improvement year to year and compare well with state and national scores.

The Henderson County School System is a consolidated system administered by a superintendent and a school board elected by popular vote. Vocational education classes, programs for the mentally disabled, and free bus transportation are provided by the county's schools.

The Lexington City School System has one facility, Paul G. Caywood School, with classes for grades K-8. The system is a special school district administered by a superintendent and a school board appointed by the city aldermen.

Several colleges and universities are close to Henderson County.
