RIDGE HOSPITAL ALT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Ridge Hospital Alt. Elementary is a public elementary school that is part of the Fayette County school district, located in Lexington, KY with about 5 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Ridge Hospital Alt. Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. 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.

Ridge Hospital Alternative Elementary, located at 3050 Rio Dosa Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Fayette County Public Schools system. It is designed to provide a supportive and structured environment for students who require an alternative approach to traditional classroom settings. By focusing on individualized instruction and behavioral support, the school aims to help students overcome academic or personal challenges, ensuring they remain on track with their educational development while addressing their unique needs.

The school operates with a commitment to fostering a stable, therapeutic, and academically focused atmosphere. Because it functions as an alternative placement, the student-to-teacher ratio is generally smaller than in a conventional elementary school, allowing for more personalized mentorship and targeted intervention. The goal of Ridge Hospital Alternative is to provide the necessary tools and resources to help students succeed, with the intent of facilitating a successful transition back to a traditional school environment whenever appropriate.
