LEXINGTON, Ky. — Fayette County Schools is preparing to open a new elementary school in 2027 that will affect nearly 750 students across the district, according to [WUKY 91.3 FM](https://www.wuky.org/wuky-news/2026-05-22/lexingtons-newest-elementary-school-is-set-to-open-next-year-check-to-see-if-your-student-may-be-rezoned).

The new school, which has not yet been formally named, will address capacity concerns in Lexington's growing elementary school system. District officials have indicated that some students currently enrolled in existing elementary schools will be reassigned to the new facility as part of a rezoning effort.

The Fayette County Schools district, which serves approximately 40,000 students across Lexington and surrounding areas, has faced ongoing challenges with enrollment growth in certain attendance zones. The addition of a new elementary school represents a significant expansion of the district's infrastructure.

Parents and guardians whose students may be affected by the rezoning are encouraged to check district materials to determine if their child's school assignment will change. The district has not yet released complete details about which schools will feed students into the new facility or the timeline for the transition.

This development comes as [Fayette County Schools](https://www.fcschools.net) continues to manage growth in residential areas throughout the Lexington metropolitan area. School officials will likely provide additional information about the new school's location, capacity and staffing plans in the coming months as the 2027 opening date approaches.
