Welcome to Jacksonville ISD

Welcome to Jacksonville ISD, an exceptional school district big enough to offer incredible opportunities while small enough to know every student by name. We are proud of the tremendous success we’ve had in providing a high-quality student experience across all grade levels.

Words from our students…

“I THRIVE at JISD because we have an incredible support system of JISD teachers and staff. No matter what is going on in your personal life, as soon as you walk through those doors, a teacher is always ready to welcome you with a smile and encouraging words. Our teachers are so giving and all we have to do is receive. We truly have the best of the best in JISD!”
