county school

Regional public school

A county school is a public school operated and funded by a county government rather than a city or independent school district.

The term appears mainly in areas where counties serve as the primary unit of educational administration: She transferred from a city school to the county school system.

In parts of the American South and rural regions, county schools historically served students outside incorporated towns.
