The 12 Largest School Districts in Upstate New York

I would dare to guess that most of my readers came up through schools in districts that were much smaller and more rural in nature than the 12 huge schools on this list. I know I did. But did you ever imagine what it would be like to attend one of the larger schools in Upstate New York? Those schools with multiple floors of bustling hallways and packed school bus rides. Those schools where you may not actually know every person in your graduating class.

My school had about 300 students in it and was considered very small at the time.  Here is a list of the 12 biggest school districts in Upstate New York.  As you can see, they represent the large population centers of the state and have thousands of students walking their hallways on any given school day. While class sizes, number of sports teams, and many other factors still range, the one thing these schools all have in common is that they are mighty in size.

You can find a complete list of the biggest schools in New York State (including New York City), but we wanted to shine some light on 12 of the absolute largest. Did your school make the cut? Let us know!

And if your school didn't make it onto this list, for fun, stay with this gallery and check out the smallest schools in the state! Less than 50 students? Impressive. Both lists are very interesting!
