The campus consists of five buildings: the Main Building, the Tech Building, the Large Gym, the E-Building, and the Fine Arts Auditorium. The main building consists of the Small Gym, the ITV room, the cafeteria, the library, two computer labs, the main office, and the counselor's office.

Beginning in the 2017–18 school year, The JCPS Academies of Louisville at Pleasure Ridge Park began to rotate students throughout Pathway electives to gain exposure to programs prior to declaring a major. Then, at the end of their freshman year, students can choose a Pathway to follow for the rest of their high school career and possibly gain certification in their field of study.
The Pathways include the Academies of Business and Communication, Medical Sciences, and Engineering/Manufacturing/Design.
