For assistance in making an informed choice regarding a school for your child, check out the websites listed below. Many of these websites offer tools for comparison and ratings of schools in Kentucky. Did you know that, based on the "No Child Left Behind Act" (NCLB), you have the right to transfer your child to a higher-performing school if your child's school has not met NCLB goals for two consecutive years and has been identified as in need of improvement? Learn more about your rights by visiting the website with the No Child Left Behind Fact Sheets.

School Choice KY School CHOICE Scholarships (SCS) was founded in 1998 to improve the educational opportunities for the children of low-income families in Jefferson County. Affluent families can choose whatever schools best fit their children's needs and interests but lower income families don't have this same opportunity. Because we believe that all children deserve educational options, SCS awards tuition assistance scholarships to low-income families that are committed to making the best educational choices for their children.
