Jamestown is one of the few school districts that has its own satellite system for receiving a wide variety of educational broadcasts, and it often acts as a host for surrounding districts. Students, teachers, and staff utilize hundreds of computers throughout the District for learning, teaching, and organizational needs. The two most common platforms, Macintosh OS and Windows, are offered at the higher grade levels, with primarily Macintosh offered at lower levels. In addition, the other networked schools have a dedicated file server. The Jamestown Public School system offers a large variety of athletic ventures for both boys and girls.
Students are able to choose between interscholastic athletics or intramural programs.

Diethrick Park, a Class A minor league park, while track is run at Strider Field, a premier facility. Basketball is played in the McElrath Gymnasium, one of the finest courts in Western New York.
