Who it tends to fit
A good match when
- Maupin is the resides or chosen school and you will use the FRC and school support services as part of the plan.
- The 9:40 a.m. start works for your household.
- You want EL/IM instruction, Character Strong, Early Childhood, and enrichment / sports / extended-learning activities on a 9:40 west Louisville campus.
Think twice when
- You need a 7:30 a.m. campus instead of the 9:40 a.m. start here.
- You want a Traditional uniform culture or a districtwide theme magnet.
- You are choosing mostly on test-score rankings — current bands sit well below JCPS elementary averages (21% reading P+D; math 5% proficient / Distinguished N/A).
