Consider These Louisville Neighborhoods With Great Elementary Schools

Have you been looking into buying a home in Louisville because you are starting a family? Are you wondering which neighborhoods would be suitable for you to raise children in? Well, among the many wonderful Louisville neighborhoods you might consider, here are a few with great elementary schools.

Enjoy the Hustle and Bustle of Downtown Louisville

A large central business district, Downtown is also the older part of Louisville. Housing options include everything from loft-style apartments, to high-rise condos, to townhouses and single-family residences. If you live in in this central downtown neighborhood, you are always just a stone's throw away from popular attractions and museums such as the Belle of Louisville and the Mohammed Ali Museum. Located in this neighborhood is J. Graham Brown School, a highly rated public elementary school that currently serves a diverse community of about 700 students. The school's stated mission is to affirm and foster each student's unique potential through an informal and relaxed environment. Brown School has been recognized as one of the best American schools by Newsweek magazine, and was named by the U.S. News and World Report as the Gold Medal School for excellence in its academic preparation in 2012. Ranking in the top 2% of all public schools across America, Brown School is definitely a place that any parent can feel secure enrolling their child into.

Find that Great Small Town and Historical Feel in Audubon Park

Located 3 miles south of Downtown Louisville, Audubon Park is a small town with a population of about 1,6000. This neighborhood is a great area in which to raise a family, with mostly single family homes for sale. With the town's past dating back to 1774, your family will love the sense of history in this town as you stroll down the tree-lined streets. There are six beautiful parks nearby, and the quaint streets are all named after birds because the town itself was named after John J. Audubon, the world-famous artist and bird enthusiast. If you choose to settle in the Audubon Park neighborhood, one elementary school option is Audubon Traditional Elementary School. With a diverse student population of about 620 and a teacher-student ratio of 1:20, Audubon Traditional consistently scores much higher than the Jefferson County or Kentucky state average on Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT). The school emphasizes moral values, courtesy, and patriotism in its program, providing a disciplined and structured learning environment that focuses on a challenging and well-rounded education.

Settle into the Wonderful Community of Anchorage

If you're looking for a neighborhood away from the busy rush of the big city, then Anchorage is just the place for you and your family. Located in east Jefferson County, less than 20 miles away from Downtown Louisville, this suburban neighborhood has retained all of its small town charm and wonderful feeling of community even amidst the sizable growth it has seen in the last few decades. What adds to Anchorage's charm is its park-like environment, where the shade of many mature, grand trees helps keep the neighborhood cooler in the summer than the rest of Louisville. Serving this area is the Anchorage Public Elementary School, which is one of the top performing schools in Kentucky. Boasting an excellent academic program with nurturing, well-trained teachers, Anchorage Public School's stated mission is to instill lifelong learning in its students through exploration, connection, and inspiration. The school also promotes close community involvement and strong leadership skills, working closely with parents to create and offer valuable programs.

So whether you are looking to settle in a bustling metropolitan city or a quieter, smaller, community-minded area, rest assured that there are neighborhoods in Louisville that will suit your unique needs and expectations. And these neighborhoods all boast great elementary schools in which you can enroll your children. Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list, and wherever you choose to buy your home, Louisville has many more wonderful communities and schools to offer.
