From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools (locally known also as "WJCC") is a combined public school system which serves the independent city of Williamsburg and James City County in the Virginia Peninsula area of the Hampton Roads region in southeastern Virginia.
The system consists approximately 9,000 students in 12 schools, of which there are 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The two high schools, both of which are within the County's boundaries, are Jamestown and Lafayette High Schools. Both are considered above average institutions.
