The search for your child's school can be a task. I have put together a list of the links and some explanation to help with the process.
The city seat of Louisville is in Jefferson County. In addition, there are five primary adjacent counties where people look for schools: Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Bullitt.
Jefferson
As you will hear (if you haven't already), the Jefferson County school system is the most difficult to figure out. Whether you are new to the area or born here, you are often confused by which school is your residing, or home, school.
The Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) system has a handy search tool which can be found at:
https://apps.jefferson.kyschools.us/demographics/schoolfinder.aspx
Once you have input your address, the search results will show your cluster, which lists your reside (home) school and other schools you can attend with an application. Transportation is provided by the school system for the schools in the cluster. A common point of confusion for many people is that schools in a cluster are not necessarily the closest schools to your address geographically. In addition to schools in your cluster, there are also Optional and Magnet schools assigned to your home address. These schools have a particular area of focus (e.g. math, science, and technology program, performing arts, traditional program, etc.). These schools require an application, and they may have limited enrollments.
For information on the schools and their performance ratings, please see the links below.

The Oldham County schools are separated out into geographic divisions. A map of the school locations is through the link below. If you would like to confirm the assigned school, there is a download (Excel or PDF format) available to search by the street name.
