Residency within District Boundaries is Required

  • Based on the primarily district-based tax funding of Missouri Public Schools, it is a requirement that you must live (reside in, unoccupied land is not acceptable) within the boundaries of Carl Junction School District to attend our schools. You may find more details on the subject in our District Policies:

    JEC & JECA-2

    To view the boundaries of the CJ School District, view the map here. Or, if the address is in Jasper County, you may use the Public Access property website Beacon to search for the address. Once the result appears, if the School District listed is "R-1" then it is in the CJ District.

    Please call 417-649-5755 with any further questions.
