List of school districts in Pennsylvania


This is a list of school districts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, a U.S. state.
The article for each Pennsylvania county with more than one school district includes a map showing all public school districts in the county.
Circa the late 1960s the number of school districts was 2,277. The state government had passed laws encouraging these districts to merge with one another, so the figure fell to 669, and then 501, in the 1970s and then in 1981. There are approximately 500 public school districts in Pennsylvania as of 2023.
School districts and community colleges are counted as separate governments by the U.S. Census Bureau. School districts are categorized by state law based on the number of people living within the district boundaries. The state has no school systems that are dependent on another layer of government.
