county schools

Regional public education

County schools are public schools operated by a county government rather than a city or independent district.

The term appears primarily in states where counties serve as the basic unit of school administration: She transferred from city schools to county schools when her family moved to the suburbs.

In some regions, county schools and city schools exist as parallel systems serving different geographic areas.
