Schenectady City School District

The Schenectady City School District, with a population of approximately 9,500 students, is one of the largest districts in the Capital Region. The district includes eleven elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school and an adult and continuing education center. All of Schenectady's school are filled with rich culture and diversity with students who speak more than thirty different languages. We are committed to providing an environment in which all children feel valued, are safe and will learn. Students not only learn to value and respect people of all races, backgrounds and cultures, they appreciate the differences and are prepared to be citizens in a multicultural world. Our district is committed to ensuring that race, economics and disability are never predictors of student achievement. Everybody counts. Everybody learns. #schenectadyrising
