Schools

In 2012, the Conneaut School District's board of education voted to reconfigure its school buildings and realign its attendance areas in order to cut costs and more efficiently serve its students. The board voted to have 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and one senior high school to serve the district. Prior to reconfiguration, the district had 3 elementary schools and 3 junior-senior high schools. All of the district's buildings will be used in the reconfiguration. An administration building, located on the Linesville campus, houses the district's central office staff. The six schools and the administration building have been extensively renovated since 2000.
