JEROME JOINT DISTRICT

Located at 125 4th Avenue West in Jerome, Idaho, the Jerome Joint District operates as a thriving public school district set within a fringe town setting near the Twin Falls metropolitan area. Managing eight operational schools, the district provides an inclusive, uninterrupted educational pathway spanning from early childhood prekindergarten through 12th grade. The district currently serves a student body of nearly 4,000 learners, comprising 1,958 female and 2,040 male students. Reflecting a rich cultural makeup, the student population features a vibrant Hispanic majority of over 2,400 students alongside roughly 1,500 White students, as well as smaller cohorts of multiracial, Black, American Indian, Asian, and Pacific Islander youth.

To nurture this steady academic progression—which maintains balanced grade levels ranging between 260 and 330 students per class—the district relies on a dedicated workforce of over 875 full-time equivalent staff members. This comprehensive team includes approximately 440 full-time equivalent teachers, 46 instructional aides, and nearly 390 support staff members, establishing a low student-to-teacher ratio and a strong system of individualized care. For families, students, and educational researchers, the Jerome Joint District represents a well-resourced, community-centered public school system tailored to supporting continuous achievement across southern Idaho.
