THE BROOK-DUPONT
The Brook-Dupont is a public elementary school that is part of the Jefferson County school district, located in Louisville, KY with about 27 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 4 teachers, The Brook-Dupont has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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.
The Brook-Dupont, located at 1405 Browns Ln in Louisville, Kentucky, is a specialized educational and therapeutic facility operating under the umbrella of The Brook Hospitals. It is specifically designed to provide a structured academic environment for students in grades K-12 who are experiencing significant emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges. By integrating clinical support with classroom instruction, the school aims to help students maintain academic progress while addressing the underlying mental health needs that may interfere with their ability to succeed in a traditional school setting.
The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, often involving a team of therapists, educators, and mental health professionals to create individualized treatment and learning plans. Because it functions as a therapeutic day treatment facility, it provides a safe, highly supervised atmosphere where students can develop coping skills, improve social-emotional regulation, and work toward transitioning back to their home schools. The Brook-Dupont serves as a vital bridge for families in the Louisville area seeking specialized intervention that balances rigorous educational standards with comprehensive behavioral health care.
