Elyria City School District

The Elyria City School district is a school district located in Elyria, Ohio. It consists of 1 high school, 3 junior high schools, 9 elementary schools, and 3 specialized schools. The Elyria City Schools maintains all public education and buildings.

By 2014 a gay-straight alliance appeared at Elyria High School. As a result, a group of parents in the school district are threatening to reject an item for the May 2014 voting ballot, a renewal levy. Chris Sito, a parent of students at the school, accused the club as being "a sex club".

In November 2016, residents of Elyria passed Issue 23, an unprecedented school bond issue valued at $140 million with the goal of rebuilding all of the districts schools (excluding Elyria High School) as well as building a state-of-the-art athletic complex on the city's south side to replace the decaying Ely Stadium, which was built in 1927.

Due to tight budgets, the Elyria City Schools have closed several schools to cut back on costs. Students are redirected to the nearest school necessary.
