Jellyfish (or Sea Jellies is what I like to call them because they are not fish) are classified differently then vertebrates. Sea Jellies are in Kingdom Animalia (because they are multi-cellular), Phylum Cnidaria (because they have nematocysts which are the stinging cells that sting other animals). Other animals in this Phyla are sea anemones and coral.
Vertebrates are in Kingdom Animalia (because they are mulit-cellular), Phylum Chordata (because they have have a notochord amongst other features), Subphylum Vertebrata (they have vertebrae).
Classes in the Subphylum Vertebrata are Class Mammalia (Mammals), Amphibia (Amphibians - frogs), Reptilia (Reptiles - snakes & lizards), Osteichthyes (Bony Fishes), Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous fish - sharks), Agnatha (fish without jaws - lamprey) and Aves (birds).

Jellyfish are invertebrates because they have no backbone. Only creature with a backbone (that's the long bony line that runs down the middle of your back) are classified as vertebrates.
