JEFFERSON COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

Jefferson County High is a public high school that is part of the Jefferson County school district, located in Louisville, KY with about 464 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 10 teachers, Jefferson County High has a student/teacher ratio of about 46:1. 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 school focuses on credit recovery, individualized instruction, and providing a supportive atmosphere tailored to the unique academic and social-emotional needs of its student body. By keeping class sizes smaller and emphasizing personalized attention, Jefferson County High aims to reduce dropout rates and prepare students for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning back to a traditional school, entering the workforce, or pursuing higher education.
