About our District:
Border Creek Local Schools is located in North East Ohio. As a medium sized district, we are responsible for educating nearly 3200 students. Our district consists of six school buildings including two Primary buildings, grades K-2, two Intermediate buildings, grades 3-5, a single Middle school, grades 6-8, and a single High school, grades 9-12. The Border Creek Local SD spans a single township which represents a diverse ethnic, cultural, and social economic population. As with most districts within our region, Border Creek Local Schools has struggled with the harsh economic realities of our dwindling manufacturing centered economy. In spite of our district’s challenges, our district continues to provide a quality education to our students and scores above the state-wide average for student assessments.
