The Erie City School District is the school district that serves Erie, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is a member of the Northwest Tri-County IU 5.
Serving the Erie School District are two high schools, three middle schools, and ten elementary schools.[https://www.eriesd.org/domain/302 Erie's Public Schools, School List 11/13/2018] On April 19, 2007, GE Transportation presented the district with a $15 million donation, which was reportedly the largest ever donation to education in Pennsylvania. In 2014 Erie school district teacher salaries were published and determined to be up to 40 percent higher than the average household in Erie.
As of August, 2017, student enrollment for the district's 15 schools was 11,265.[http://www.goerie.com/news/20170825/erie-school-district-enrollment-holding-steady/1 "Erie School District enrollment 'holding steady'" 08/25/2017]

Beginning with the 2012/13 school year, the district closed three schools, Burton, Glenwood and Irving elementary schools, due to a budget deficit and declining enrollment.http://www.goerie.com/article/20120503/NEWS02/305029868/Erie-School-Board-votes-to-close-3-schools Further closings and changes are expected to happen after the 2012/13 school year, although no official timeline has been announced.http://www.goerie.com/article/20120824/NEWS02/308239894/Erie-weighs-fewer-high-schools-larger-elementaries.

- Roosevelt Middle School. Opened in 1922, and was most recently renovated in 1975. It closed in 2007 due to declining enrollment and its dilapidated condition. Because the district determined that renovating Roosevelt would cost about $30 million, the building was finally demolished in October 2020.[https://www.goerie.com/story/news/2020/10/27/exterior-demolition-begins-eries-former-roosevelt-middle-school/6038429002/ Ed Palattella, "As outside of Erie's Roosevelt School starts to fall, alumnus helping with demolition", GoErie.com, 10/27/2020]

In 2017, Strong Vincent and East High Schools became middle schools when these former high schools consolidated with Central Tech High School to become Erie High School.[http://www.goerie.com/news/20170511/erie-school-district-students-join-to-reinvent-central Ed Palattella, "Erie School District students join to reinvent Central", GoErie.com, 05/11/2017]
