Jackson County

The Jackson County School District is an active, traditional public school system headquartered at 29727 US Hwy 72 Suite A in Hollywood, Alabama. Serving a broad, predominantly rural region surrounding the Scottsboro metropolitan area, the open, non-charter district operates 18 schools tailored to meet the educational needs of its local communities. Jackson County provides a comprehensive educational continuum spanning from pre-kindergarten early learning programs through the 12th grade. Families can access additional district resources and updates online via its official portal at jackson.k12.al.us or by calling the central office directly at (256) 259-9500.

Currently enrolling 5,159 students across its system, the district reflects a diverse student body comprising White, American Indian, Hispanic, Black, and multiracial learners, among other backgrounds. To support this student population, Jackson County maintains a robust workforce of more than 1,400 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes approximately 573 full-time equivalent classroom teachers, 38 instructional aides, and over 800 dedicated support personnel. This substantial staffing structure fosters a low student-to-teacher ratio and ensures that schools are equipped to provide strong academic instruction, specialized care, and well-rounded operational support throughout northeast Alabama.
