PRESTON JOINT DISTRICT

Preston Joint District is an active, traditional public school system headquartered at 105 East 2nd South in Preston, Idaho. Nestled within a distant rural setting in the Logan metropolitan area, the district operates five school facilities offering complete educational programming from prekindergarten through 12th grade. Serving a student body of 2,311 children, the district maintains a supportive and close-knit learning community that combines small-town community values with complete primary and secondary academic pathways.

To ensure comprehensive instruction and student well-being across all grade levels, the district is backed by a robust workforce of over 420 full-time equivalent staff members. This dedicated team includes approximately 226 full-time teachers, 35 instructional aides, and nearly 160 specialized support personnel, resulting in favorable student-to-educator ratios and targeted classroom support. The district’s student body reflects its regional population, serving a diverse student population that includes sizable Hispanic, multiracial, and Native American student groups alongside a strong core of local families. With its low student-to-staff ratio and solid institutional footprint, Preston Joint District stands as a well-resourced educational anchor for local families and a valuable case study for educational researchers studying rural school systems.
