Jackson City School (under the Jackson Independent School system) is a school district serving grades pre-k through 12. It is located in the hills of Eastern Kentucky, in Jackson, Kentucky—the county seat for Breathitt County. The elementary school portion is named after Herbert W. Spencer, after it was rebuilt in the 1960s when the original elementary school caught fire. Though, locally, it's still referred to as Jackson Elementary or just Jackson City School. Its boundary includes sections of Jackson, but not all of it.
