Family Care Center

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Family Care Center is a small public high school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Fayette County School District. With just 37 students, this school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, facing significant challenges in academic achievement, graduation rates, and serving a high-needs student population.

Family Care Center has a 0.0% four-year graduation rate, which is alarmingly low compared to the state and district averages. Its proficiency rates on standardized tests are drastically lower than the Fayette County and Kentucky state averages across all subject areas. The school has an exceptionally high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 80-82% over the past 3 years, and a very low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its struggles. In stark contrast, nearby high-performing schools like Henry Clay High School, Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, STEAM Academy, and Lafayette High School consistently rank among the top 30-50 high schools in Kentucky.

The Audrey Grevious Center, another small public high school, is located just 0.13 miles away from Family Care Center and also serves a high-needs population with similarly low academic performance and rankings. The combination of a small student population, high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, and very low student-teacher ratio at Family Care Center may suggest that the school is struggling to provide the necessary resources and support to help students succeed academically.
