The district is almost entirely in Greene County while small portions are in Boone County. Communities served are Jefferson, Dana, Grand Junction, Rippey and Scranton.[2]

It formed on July 1, 2014, as the consolidation of the East Greene and Jefferson–Scranton school districts. They began "grade sharing" (in which students from one district attended school in another district for certain grade levels) the previous school year.[3]

As of 2018, it has about 1,100 students and 200 employees.[4]
