District schools are public educational institutions funded and operated by local government entities, known as school districts. They serve students in specific geographic areas and provide education from kindergarten through 12th grade. These schools are designed to meet the educational needs of their communities and are typically governed by a school board. In district schools, the curriculum is often aligned with state educational standards, ensuring that students receive a consistent and quality education. They offer various programs, including special education and extracurricular activities, to support diverse student needs. Enrollment is usually based on the student's home address within the district.
