Per Square Mile, NY's Largest School Districts are Mostly Upstate

The question came up this morning on the radio about the largest school districts in New York State, geographically speaking. New York City is obviously the largest, right?

Well, not really.

The New York City School District is actually the largest school district in the United States with nearly 1 (m) million students and more than 1,800 different schools. However, when it comes to square miles, the Big Apple pales in comparison to North Slope Borough, Alaska which is the largest school district in the nation geographically, encompassing 94,827 square miles. The New York City School District is made up of 321.80 square miles, and for the record, that's also not the largest in New York State.

If not NYC, which is the largest NYS School District by geographic size?

Most of the large geographic districts are upstate. In fact, 5 of the top 10 largest districts are in the Mohawk Valley region. Town of Webb School District in Herkimer County, with some 248 students in the district, is the second largest by square miles (493 sq mi), behind Saranac Lake which is the largest in the state with 684.41 sq mi. Poland Central School District in Herkimer/Oneida counties is the third largest with 477.69 square miles. Poland's district is made up of 510 students.

Adirondack Central School District is the 6th largest with 369.49 square miles, South Lewis is 7th at 368.85 sq mi, and Camden is the 9th largest with 330.86 sq. miles.

The City of Gloversville is the smallest of the 673 school districts in New York State based on number of square miles, at 0.86 sq. miles.

One more note on the largest geographic school districts nationwide, Alaska has just 53 school districts, 20 of which are geographically larger than Saranac Lake, Town of Webb, and Poland combined.
