Academic Contests

Our elementary students have two competitive avenues to exercise their brains outside the classroom: the longstanding Academic Challenge and the Quiz Bowl. Please reach out to your school if your child is interested in participating.

Academic Challenge is an Urban League of Lexington initiative in partnership with FCPS, community sponsors, and Kentucky colleges awarding scholarships to youngsters in grades 2-5 in two age divisions. 

• March 14: Regional contests at host elementary schools
• March 25: Superintendent's Cup at the John D. Price Administration Building, 450 Park Place 

Quiz Bowl is for older students (grades 4-5).

• Feb. 21: Quiz Bowl at host Glendover Elementary
