local school
Community education center
A local school is a school in one's immediate area or community, as opposed to distant or boarding institutions.
The term emphasizes geographic proximity and community ties: We decided to send the kids to the local school rather than the private academy across town.
It often carries connotations of accessibility and neighborhood identity.
