Sylvania Schools fulfills the Sylvania community’s value of a rigorous education that provides opportunities for all families and  their children. Our twelve schools offer  students a depth of support and  variety of programs that draw families to Sylvania, where they stay to offer  their children the best  of educations.

Sylvania Schools prepares students to be lifelong learners and engaged citizens. That is the  mission of twelve schools and over seven hundred educators in the  faculty, support staff, and administration. Everyday, we aim to be an exceptional public school district that teaches and inspires students to contribute to society in meaningful ways.

STUDENTS Our strength draws from diversity.

Sylvania’s strength is its students and their families. Unlike some suburban communities, Sylvanian families bring their rich and varied racial, ethnic, and language identity into the  schools to build a diverse community full of opportunities of discovery. Sylvania Schools answer this diversity with a range of programs that provide support and enrichment to students based on their unique identities.

Our nearly 8,000  students tell nearly 8,000  different stories.

Our population is growing! Since 2013, our student body  has  added 648, a 9% increase.

One out  of five of our students brings a rich, non-white heritage to our school community.
One out  of seven of our students lives with disabilities that build strength through collaboration and dedication.
One out  of six of our students explores their academic gifts  through gifted and talented educational opportunities.
One out  of fifty of our students comes from a non-English background, a recent increase that brings international community into each building.
