According to the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Measures for the Administration of Scribing in Ordinary Primary and Secondary Schools in Jiangsu Province issued by the Education Department of Jiangsu Province, Jiangsu Province implements the system of scribing management in primary and secondary schools, and the education administrative departments at all levels conduct scribing management in primary and secondary schools within their jurisdiction according to the division of responsibilities. As an ordinary middle school, Zhenjiang Jinshan Experimental School should be managed by the municipal education administrative department according to this system, so it can be judged that the school is directly under the municipal government.

Schools directly under the city are usually directly managed by the municipal education administrative department and enjoy more resources and policy support.
