The elementary, intermediate, and high schools are on the Jacona campus.[5] [6] [7] This campus, which also has the administration building, is near but not inside the Jacona census-designated place and has a Santa Fe, New Mexico postal address (but it is not in Santa Fe).[8]
The sixth grade academy and middle school are on the Pojoaque Campus, which is in the Pojoaque CDP.[9] [10] In the 1990 U.S. Census and the 2000 U.S. Census this area was in the Jaconita CDP.[11]
In 2006, the board of trustees voted to approve the design of an intermediate school which was to be built.[12]
