FAMILY CARE CENTER
Family Care Center is a public high school that is part of the Fayette County school district, located in Lexington, KY with about 40 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to Adult Education. With about 3 teachers, Family Care Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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 **Family Care Center (FCC)**, located at 1135 Red Mile Place in Lexington, Kentucky, operates as a specialized educational and support facility within the Fayette County Public Schools system. Unlike a traditional K-12 school, the center functions as a holistic support hub primarily designed to serve teen parents who are completing their high school education. By integrating academic instruction with essential childcare services, the center aims to remove common barriers that often lead to dropout rates among young parents, providing them with the stability needed to earn their diplomas.
The facility is distinguished by its comprehensive, wrap-around approach to family development. In addition to high school coursework, the Family Care Center offers on-site, high-quality early childhood education for the children of the students. This allows parents to attend classes with the peace of mind that their children are being cared for in a developmentally appropriate setting. Through this unique model, the school addresses both the immediate academic needs of the parents and the long-term developmental needs of their children, ultimately fostering a multi-generational path toward self-sufficiency and educational success.
