Dixie Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Jefferson County school district, located in Louisville, KY with about 450 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
