Normandy School District is a public school district serving 24 municipalities in northern St. Louis County, Missouri. The district operates one comprehensive high school, one alternative high school, one middle school, five elementary schools, and one early childhood center. The district is named for Normandy, Missouri, one of the primary municipalities served by the district. The Missouri Board of Education voted to end the school district on June 30, 2014. It lost state accreditation last year for poor academic performance. An appointed board will replace the elected board, and the district will become a new entity called the “Normandy Schools Collaborative.” The state will have direct oversight of the schools. The District was featured on an episode of NPR's This American Life that aired on July 31, 2015.
In 2010, Normandy School District absorbed the failed Wellston School District under orders of the Missouri Board of Education. Prior to its absorption by the Normandy School District, the Wellston district had about 600 students, one high school, one middle school, and one elementary school. All three schools closed at the end of the 2009–2010 school year.
In September 2012, the Missouri Board of Education voted to remove accreditation from Normandy School District due to ongoing academic issues. Superintendent Stanton Lawrence was angered by the decision, given the district's willingness to absorb Wellston School District in 2010. Lawrence announced his resignation shortly after the state decision. On March 7, 2013, the Normandy School Board selected Tyrone McNichols, an administrator in the Hazelwood School District, as its new superintendent of schools.
