List of school districts in Massachusetts

This is a list of school districts in Massachusetts.

The majority of school districts in the state are dependent on town governments. Some are dependent on city governments, two are dependent on county governments, and Essex Agricultural and Technical High School is directly a part of the state government. The U.S. Census Bureau does not consider any of these to be independent governments. It does consider the regional school districts, regional vocational-technical school districts, and independent vocational schools to be independent governments.

Charter school districts

Following the Education Reform Act of 1993, the state Department of Education authorized two types of "charter" schools, public schools outside the control of any school committee. Commonwealth Charter Schools (marked on this list with the letters "CC") are funded through money deducted by the state from its aid payments to the school districts that would otherwise be responsible for the school's students; Horace Mann Charter Schools (marked "HM") are founded with the permission of the school districts in which they are physically located, and funded by their "parent" district.
