regional school

Area-serving educational institution

A regional school serves students from multiple towns or districts that have joined together, typically because individual communities are too small to support their own schools.

Common in rural areas, regional schools pool resources across geographic boundaries: The regional school draws students from six surrounding towns.

The term also applies to the administrative district itself.
