Did you know... JCPS is 1 of 12 districts to exceed pre-pandemic achievement? Not only that, six of our amazing schools exited low performing status. All student subgroups are above pre-pandemic achievement, and JCPS is closing the achievement gaps. #GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS

Community members, local stakeholders, and JCPS staff attended the 2024 Bond Information Session last night at Selma Elementary. JCPS supporters received important details regarding the specifics of the upcoming bond referendum. It was a great and informative evening for the attendees! ✨
