• JR Kyūdai Line: Kurume ⇄ Minami-Kurume

Kurume-Kōkōmae Station opened on 14 March 2009 as a new stop on the Kyūdai Main Line between Kurume and Minami-Kurume. The proposal originated with a 1996 recommendation from the JR Kyūdai Line revitalisation council for a station tentatively called "Kurume-Kōkō-Minami", and was formalised on 15 June 2007 when Kurume City, JR Kyushu, and the local promotion society signed a memorandum at City Hall. The station was the first on the JR Kyushu network — and only the second on JR as a whole — to take its name from a public high school. ICカード SUGOCA service began on 1 December 2012, the ticket office closed on 11 March 2022, and the station was unstaffed from the following day's timetable change.

The station is the first on the JR Kyushu network and only the second across JR overall to bear a public high school's name in its title; locals typically shorten it to just "Kōkōmae".
