SAFE HARBOR ACADEMY

Safe Harbor Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Woodford County school district, located in Versailles, KY with about 26 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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. With about 4 teachers, Safe Harbor Academy 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.

Safe Harbor Academy, located in Versailles, Kentucky, is an alternative educational institution primarily focused on providing a structured, therapeutic, and academic environment for students who may have struggled in traditional public school settings.

By maintaining a smaller, specialized setting, the academy aims to foster a supportive community where students can address personal challenges while staying on track toward graduation or reintegration into traditional schooling. The program typically integrates intensive guidance and supervision to ensure that students develop the necessary life skills and academic proficiency to succeed in their future endeavors.
