The Erie City School District is the school district that serves Erie, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is a member of the Northwest Tri-County IU 5.

Serving the Erie School District are two high schools, three middle schools, and ten elementary schools.[1] On April 19, 2007, GE Transportation presented the district with a $15 million donation, which was reportedly the largest ever donation to education in Pennsylvania. In 2014 Erie school district teacher salaries were published and determined to be up to 40 percent higher than the average household in Erie pa.

As of August, 2017, student enrollment for the district's 15 schools was 11,265.[2]

Former schools

Beginning with the 2012/13 school year, the district closed three schools, Burton, Glenwood and Irving elementary schools, due to a budget deficit and declining enrollment.[3] Further closings and changes are expected to happen after the 2012/13 school year, although no official timeline has been announced.[4]

In 2017, Strong Vincent and East High Schools became middle schools when these former high schools consolidated with Central Tech High School to become Erie High School.[6]
