Jeffersontown Colored School operated in a one-room frame building according to a 1905 census. It moved to a new building in 1912 and to another in 1929. The school changed its name to Alexander-Ingram School in 1961 in honor of two educators, possibly principals. It closed and merged with Jeffersontown (J-town) Elementary two years later to end segregated education in Jefferson County. Jeffersontown Colored's school history folder is filed with the Alexander-Ingram history folder in the closed schools files under A.
