JACKSON CENTER EDUCATION

Jackson Center Local School District is located in northeast Shelby County. The district has one large building complex which houses 550 students on average in grades preK-12. The school also hosts a pre-school for 3-4 year olds.

The Jackson Center School District has a low teacher to pupil ratio, which provides for excellent personal relationships between teachers, students and parents. The curricular and extracurricular programs are designed to meet the present and future needs of students and prepare them for our constantly changing society.

The Jackson Center School District is unique because all grades are departmentalized including kindergarten. This means that our youngest students go to different classes just like the older students. We also offer two Advanced Placement classes and thirteen dual enrollement classes through a partnership with Urbana University. Some of our students are graduating with their first semester or even full year of college completed.

The Jackson Center community takes pride in its school district and shows support financially through booster groups and volunteering. The school district participates in the inter-district open enrollment program and many students from surrounding school districts choose to attend our schools.

Students from Jackson Center have distinguished themselves with their achievements and accomplishments and take academic studies seriously with a high percentage making the Merit Roll (all "A" grades) or the Honor Roll (all "A" & "B" grades). Our students have also done well in music competitions, art contests, athletic events, and drama productions. Our teachers and support staff do all that is possible to provide an environment that is conducive to student participation and achievement.
