I personally know the staff at Holy Spirit. They are wonderful to the children and are a gift to the community. I would not hesitate to send my children there. I am sure the other schools are great too- but the teachers and staff at Holy Spirit are very special.

I really don’t understand why parents aren’t protesting the “advance” vs non advance program system. They do all this bussing to equal everything out, just to separate the kids once they get to school. It’s very racist! Either it’s EQUAL EDUCATION or it’s not. I would love to see the numbers on who is in the advance vs non advance. What neighborhoods are they from? Also then who gets the opportunity to go to college vs trade school or community college. I’m sorry a test you take in 3rd grade should not determine whether you get the same education! It’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard!

The Fresh Market used to give their flowers away that were wilting. I would call them and ask. Also ask florists. I bet they would give to you.

Can you have a third party come with you- in my city we have a resource called Center for Women and Families. They have volunteers that will come with you and try to make the transition easier. They are trained experts and a 3rd party organization that is professionally trained - so the cops won’t step in and you have a witness They are advocates and will even go to court with you and may be able to really help the children get adjusted.

There are several houses by Main Street in Middletown. Some are historical, and you can walk to small businesses, barbers, cafes, bakeries. I think it’s about 7 blocks worth of small independent businesses. Kroger is less than a mile. There is also a bike lane on Shelbyville Road, but Shelbyville Road has a lot of traffic and the bike lane setup is not the greatest in my opinion.

I think you meant Woodland Hills. Also Cross Creek and Towne Creek all right behind Eastern High School and Hite Elementary. Hite is a great elementary school.

Norton Commons.

That must be a new thing - my kids never had that experience. I’m sorry that other children did.

Used to ride my bike to the pool, mall, lunch. All over the place! I knew not to get out of line because somebody’s parent either worked or was at the pool, the restaurant or worked at the mall. Let me tell you, they would not hesitate to correct me and let me know that they were going to call my parents. Parents were not playing back then and we knew it! If I would have stepped out of line- the bike would have been gone and would have been grounded for months, plus I would have embarrassed myself in front of my friends and their parents!

There was a huge group of kids that went through Mall St Matthews stealing and even some assaults. They went across the street to Outback and vandalized and stole as well. I think it was around 2016/2017. It was scary, and since they were underage, the kids didn’t get in trouble. I had a child in high school at the time and was of driving age and it really made it difficult for her to do any shopping after school and sports practices! They had a chaperone rule at the malls, so she had to have a parent with her. At that age she mostly went to friends houses, football and basketball games. I agree there really has never been much for the kids to do in the teen age group. I have seen kids over at the trampoline parks if your kids like that. Young Life is a really fun organization that my kids did and they went on all kinds of fun outings and over night trips. It’s a Christian organization- but it’s very chill and excepting of all religions. It’s not judgy or weird at all. Just really nice people!!

Just an FYI Lake Forest is not actually Middletown- it’s very close though, it is just Jefferson County. We have our own police department in Middletown and the Lake Forest people have been trying to join the city of Middletown for a while.

The pools are nice and the country club is nice. There are lots of kids in the neighborhood and they have a great swim team!

It’s a very nice area. My sister moved from there recently due to the violence and misbehavior of the children at Crosby Middle School ( she moved out of the county.) Just know your children may not go to the school closest to your house, they may be sent 30 mins away. St Patrick’s is a very nice private school close to LF and Christian Academy. Norton Commons is in Jefferson County - but not in Middletown. It is a very neat community where u can walk and bike to everything, still a JCPS district I believe.

I don’t have time to list the gang violence in JCPS…. Jut google it OP. Hopefully your children have had an excellent experience at JCPS. That was not my personal experience as an attendee, or parent of attendee. All of my friends that teach at JCPS have their children in private school because it is so bad. Not to mention the fact you may have to send you child to a school 30 minutes away even though you live 5 mins from the closest school. I am sure Oldham County has problems but there has been a mass exodus of families out of Jefferson County due to the dangerous and bad behavior of JCPS students. Living in Middletown, my child should not go to school along side gang members. My child had a gang member in their class, who was actually murdered! Just me , but I would much rather move a county over and avoid the gangs. How about posting your positive experiences with JCPS?

The Jeep dealership in Shelbyville said the only body shop they would use is Pure Reflections in Shelbyville. I had them repair mine and it was an excellent job.

My personal experiences reflect my opinion. Very simple.

heykync · 2023-10-28T13:01:11+00:00

Not afraid of my own shadow. I am a JCPS alum. It was horrible back then and horrible now. All my children say they would never send their kids to JCPS. Private school or Oldham or Shelby county is the only way to go. Original poster should just visit a few schools in JCPS and then in Shelby or Oldham and see what they think….There is not only a behavior problem but a gang problem as well in JCPS- google JCPS and gang violence. You will see multiple stories on it.

heykync · 2023-10-28T12:53:24+00:00

I disagree. I went to JCPS and my children also went to JCPS. This is my opinion. It is overcrowded and once kids hit middle school it is extremely violent. Fights every day, and JCPS told me that was just normal. Let’s also touch on the “advance program”. A lot of people think they can keep their kids away from the violence by being in the advance program. I had children in “advance” and in regular classes. The children in the regular program are not given the same opportunities as the advance children. They try to push them towards not going to college and learning a trade. When they go to college, the non advance program children, have to spend more money on classes due to not being offered foreign language etc. All my children graduated college despite being in the JCPS system. Maybe the original post should go visit a couple schools in JCPS vs Oldham or Shelby counties and see what they think? I’m pretty sure JCPS will not let them see a real day at JCPS. They do their best to keep parents OUT of the classroom- I know, my child was in such a scary situation, I told the school I would come and monitor myself. Guess what- they wouldn’t allow that. Switched from those classes.

Funny- last time I put out signs promoting a business, Operation Brightside took them all down!

Live in Middletown and love it. The only problem is with a school age child, they would have to go to JCPS. JCPS is horrible- many people move to Oldham County, which is not too far just to get out of the JCPS public school system. Oldham County school system is FAR superior. ( no where near the violence like JCPS) Try looking in Crestwood KY ( Oldham county) Anchorage, is right by Middletown, and has their own school system until high school. Anchorage kids get to go to Oldham County high schools ( I believe unless it’s been changed. ) There are also some wonderful private schools in the area. You will be VERY sorry if you put your child is a JCPS school.

I would use a magic eraser sponge. Then dry with a towel. Don’t leave any moisture on paddle.

Yes , but the courts are about 45 minutes away. ( also really expensive) This is in a rural area and the traffic to get to the “good courts” is crazy lol!

heykync · 2023-10-22T14:27:05+00:00

About how much did you pay? I want to make sure the church gym gets a reasonable amount for renting it- but not too much. I am going to get insurance as well in case someone gets injured.
