Description
Jacob Elementary School is a public school located in South Central Louisville. The Jacob Family Resource Center (FRC) is located in room 102A inside the school. The most recent surveys show that 46% of our 635 students live in single parent homes or with a guardian who is not their birth parent. As of December 1, 2005, 89% of the student body qualified for free/reduced lunch. The FRC is a program offered in schools with at least 20% of the students qualifiying for free/reduced meals. The Kentucky legislature funds the program based upon enrollment and "free Lunch" eligibility. There is never enough funds to provide all the services. The FRC helps with health services, mental health, after-school programs, child care, family literacy, families in training (birth to age 3), and social services referrals.
