Superintendent's Welcome

Welcome to the Jordan-Elbridge Central School District!

At Jordan-Elbridge, we offer rural living, big city amenities at your fingertips, and most of all, a quality education.

Located in a beautiful and quaint rural setting in western Onondaga County, the Jordan-Elbridge Central School district offers a less hectic pace of life but with big city amenities. The district is just a short drive away from the restaurants and shops at Destiny USA (20 miles), the world-class restaurants and entertainment in downtown Syracuse (about 25 minutes) the beautiful lakeside town of Skaneateles (10 minutes) and the city of Auburn (about 15 minutes) that has a Wegmans and a wide array of restaurants and large chain stores. Additionally, the district is less than an hour from the gorgeous Finger Lakes region that offers boundless activities.

Most importantly, Jordan-Elbridge offers a top-notch education where school begins at 3 years old and can culminate with a full scholarship for the first two years of college. At JE, academic opportunities abound and include:

• Full-day pre-kindergarten programs for 3-year-old (3YP) and 4-year-old (4YP) students. Both place an emphasis on play in the curriculum and focus on building key foundational skills crucial to development. The programs are taught by certified teachers employed by the district and transportation is included. Also, there is no charge for district residents.
• An International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) at Jordan-Elbridge Middle School. IB learning is all about drawing connections between all subject areas and infusing global points of view. Less than 30 middle schools in the state currently qualify as an IB school!
• Our Early College High School program at Jordan-Elbridge High School, offered in conjunction with Onondaga Community College (OCC), where students can earn both a New York high school diploma and an associate degree.
• The OCC Advantage Program at the high school. The OCC Advantage allows students who meet certain criteria to attend Onondaga Community College on a full scholarship after they graduate.

Please see more about our district below. Once again, I'd like to welcome you to JE!
