Situation:

Forty percent of Robertson Countians have less than a high school education. Less than 25% of the residents of Robertson County over the age 24 have attended one or more college class. Robertson Countians have few opportunities for educational growth, thus the family remains the main source for development of life skills.. Securing financial stability for Kentuckians will help families thrive no matter the economic outlook. Financial stability is achieved when families are able to secure and manage resources needed to supply food, clothing, and shelter. Through increased financial knowledge, families may be able to make wise financial decisions, increase buying power, avoid overextended credit, develop savings habits, and manage risks.. Our Statistics came from SNARL, the U.S. Census Bureau, and Kids Count.
