The Jefferson City School System has no options for intradistrict transfer because the system is comprised of only one school per grade band (Jefferson Elementary School - Grades PreK-2; Jefferson Academy - Grades 3-5, Jefferson Middle School - Grades 6-8, and Jefferson High School - Grades 9-12).
Please contact Dr. Donna R. McMullan, Superintendent, at 706-367-2883 or donna.mcmullan@jeffcityschools.org if you have questions or need additional information.
