- #4 Best Public High Schools in KentuckyPaul Laurence Dunbar High SchoolFayette County Public Schools, KY·9-12·Rating 3.78 out of 5 415 reviewsAlum: Overall, Dunbar was a great school to attend. I was there from 2019 - 2023 (Class of 2023). I was a part of the MSTC program there, and MSTC adequately prepared us for college. Most of our teachers, especially our math teachers, Mr. Knapp and Mr. Crawford, helped us explore college level content, such as linear algebra and multivariable calc. Dr. Karen Young, the former head of the MSTC program, did prepare us well for our next steps in life, including preparing and helping us with the college admissions process, interviews, presentations, and resumes as well.Dunbar however has problems with students damaging facilities, especially restrooms. The administration has tried to catch or stop those who are doing that, but to little to no avail. Sometimes I remember I had to run across the school just to use the restroom....
