The school district supports early childhood, elementary and secondary education for more than 900 students in prekindergarten through grade 12 and employs more than 200 educators and staff at its six schools and district offices.
Jasper is geographically one of the state's largest school districts and encompasses 612.59 square miles (1,586.6 km2) of land in Newton, Johnson, Madison, Franklin, and Carroll counties.
History
In 1980 the Newton County School District dissolved, with a portion going to the Jasper district.
On July 1, 2004, the Kingston School District and the Oark School District merged into the Jasper district. The consolidation gave the new Jasper school district a low population density, so it qualified for extra state funding. Circa 2006 it collected an extra $711,000 meant for isolated school districts. Around the time the Jasper district was considered to be having financial problems.
