STREET<br />
ACADEMY<br />
Street Academy is an education enhancement program that provides academic enrichment, increased social/behavioral<br />
skills, and cultural enrichment for targeted male students of Jefferson County Public Schools. Street Academy instruction<br />
emphasizes a direct reading curriculum model with literacy enhancements. Additionally, students will engage with martial<br />
arts and chess professionals to increase discipline and self-resiliency skills. Lastly, there is a parental involvement<br />
requirement with this program that consists of scheduled parent workshops throughout the school year.<br />
WHO<br />
Males 4th and 5th who attend designated schools within the Louisville’s Zones of Hope neighborhoods.<br />
WHY<br />
“Black children are performing at alarmingly low achievement levels, and sustain a frightening dropout rate” according to<br />
the No Child Left Behind studies. As a group, black boys have higher rates of behavioral problems, higher rates of<br />
absenteeism, and lower levels of academic achievement than others. Street Academy addresses this problem directly, with<br />
a highly structured, culturally sensitive curriculum.<br />
WHERE<br />
This school-based program is currently offered at four Jefferson County Public School Elementary Schools- Byck,<br />
Rangeland, Roosevelt- Perry and Wheatley Elementary. Transportation is provided and free to those students residing<br />
within zip codes 40203, 40208, 40210, 40211 & 40212<br />
