History
The district itself was founded on March 20, 1900, with the first school opening in September of that year. Enrollment grew until it reached a peak of 15,576 students in 1967. Afterwards, enrollment declined sharply, forcing the district to close many schools, including Jordan Middle School. The closing of Jordan Middle School was the reason for the renaming of Wilbur Junior High School as Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School in 1985. Jordan Middle School was reopened when enrollment decreased again. Barron Park Elementary School was added in 1998, and Terman Middle School was reopened in 2001.
