The Conneaut School District is located in northwest Pennsylvania's Crawford County and geographically encompasses approximately the western third of the county.  The school district is approximately 8 miles west of Meadville, 40 miles south of Erie and 91 miles north of Pittsburgh.  Comprised of a total area of approximately 319 square miles, the School District is bordered on the south by Mercer County, on the west by the state of Ohio, on the north by Erie County and on the east by the city of Meadville.  Included in the School District are the Boroughs of Conneaut Lake, Conneautville, Linesville and Springboro.  Townships comprising the School District include Beaver, Conneaut, East Fallowfield, Greenwood, North Shenango, Pine, Sadsbury, Spring, Summerhill, Summit and West Fallowfield.  The School District can be classified as rural with the majority of the work force employed in area contiguous to that of the School District.

The Conneaut School District is comprised of three separate attendance areas:  Linesville, Conneaut Lake and Conneaut Valley.  Each attendance area represents a small diverse community.  Linesville is a small community located near the Pennsylvania and Ohio state line.  It is a close-knit community.  Many tourist visit Linesville because of the town’s proximity to Pymatuning Lake. Conneaut Lake is a resort town on the shores of Conneaut Lake.  Tourism flourishes here particularly during summer months.  Conneaut Valley represents the community of Conneautville and Springboro, small towns in the north-central part of the school district. The Conneaut Valley community is also centered in a predominantly agricultural area of Crawford County.

Each attendance area consists of a kindergarten through grade 6 elementary school and a grade 7 through 12 secondary school.  An Administration Building, located on the Linesville campus, houses the district’s central office staff.  The six schools and the Administration Building have recently been extensively renovated.  The renovation project speaks well of the communities’ high priority and commitment in providing the best education facilities for the children of the school district.

 The following statistics represent the student enrollment in each of the six schools in the Conneaut School District.

Conneaut Lake Elementary     475      Conneaut Lake High School     451

Alice Schafer Elementary         435      Linesville High School               465

The schools enrollments total 2565 for the entire school district.  The enrollment numbers are expected to remain fairly constant given the static population experienced in the school district community.

More than 275 administrators and supervisors, teachers and support staff share the responsibility of making Conneaut Schools function efficiently.

The Board of School Directors is comprised of nine members, elected by region. The school board governs the Conneaut School District.  As the chief administrative officer, the Superintendent of Schools, is assisted by a professional and supervisory staff which presently includes an Assistant Superintendent, a Business Manager, a Supervisor of Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment/Title I Services, a Supervisor of Special Education, a  Director of Technology, a  Director of Buildings and Grounds and nine building administrators.
