OPPORTUNITY MIDDLE COLLEGE
Opportunity Middle College is a public high school that is part of the Fayette County school district, located in Lexington, KY with about 94 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Opportunity Middle College has a student/teacher ratio of about 47:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Opportunity Middle College (OMC), located on the campus of Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) in Lexington, is a unique educational partnership between Fayette County Public Schools and BCTC. Designed specifically for high school juniors and seniors who are looking for an alternative academic setting, the school allows students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits. This dual-enrollment model provides a bridge between high school and higher education, offering students an early start on their post-secondary goals in a supportive, adult-oriented environment.
The program is particularly beneficial for students who may be seeking a non-traditional path, want to accelerate their college education, or prefer the independence of a college campus atmosphere. By integrating high school coursework with authentic college-level classes, OMC helps students build the time management and self-advocacy skills necessary for long-term academic success. Ultimately, the school aims to empower students by providing them with the resources, mentorship, and academic opportunities needed to successfully transition into degree programs or professional careers.
