Summary:

The 40511 zip code area of Lexington, Kentucky is home to two middle schools: Leestown Middle School and Winburn Middle School, both serving grades 6-8 and part of the Fayette County school district.

Based on the available data, Leestown Middle School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking of 3 stars from SchoolDigger compared to Winburn's 0-1 star rating. Leestown outperforms Winburn on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics.
