Welcome to JCPS!

At Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS), we have high expectations for each of our students and proudly offer a variety of schools, programs, and activities to engage your child.

JCPS offers unique learning opportunities to nearly 100,000 students across 168 schools. JCPS has more than two dozen middle schools that offer everything from gender-specific school environments, enhanced technology via partnerships with Verizon Innovative Learning, the opportunity to continue at the same school through twelfth grade, and many more exciting programs.

All of our schools share an unwavering focus on three key pillars: Backpack of Success Skills, Racial Equity, and Culture and Climate. Middle school students will continue building their academic and interpersonal skills as educators meet them where they are to provide equitable support and encourage leadership.

Whether your child is continuing their education in JCPS or is new to the district, we look forward to providing an exciting transition to middle school that reflects our strong commitment to every student's educational development.

Our teachers are dedicated to helping sixth graders build the confidence they need to take on middle school challenges and to ensuring that seventh and eighth graders are prepared for high school work. But JCPS middle schools don't just bridge the gap between the upper and lower grades--we know that the middle school years are a unique period of personal and academic growth. Our students discover new talents, explore new ideas, and develop new skills not only in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies but also in art, music, technology, world languages, career exploration, and college preparation.

As a part of the JCPS family, you will share the energy, purpose, passion, and pride that enable us to create a brighter future for students, families, businesses, and organizations in our community!

Dr. Marty Pollio Superintendent Jefferson County Public Schools
