We realize an educated workforce is a critical component in any company's success and essential in a competitive business environment. St. Clair County is proud to offer an excellent variety of educational options.

St. Clair County Public School Districts

St. Clair County boasts a widely diversified K-12 school community.

Schools of Choice

The seven public school districts within St. Clair County participate in the contiguous and countywide Schools of Choice program each year as part of their continuing effort to provide a quality education to all students. This countywide Schools of Choice program allows parents and students to choose which public school they would like to attend regardless of where they live in St. Clair County.

RESA Services/Education

Educating our children doesn't always require that a child be in a classroom. St. Clair County RESA owns and operates the Pine River Nature Center in Wales Township to provide hands-on environmental education opportunities. It also coordinates "Great Parents, Great Start" programming for children ages 0-5 and their families, and offers the Math & Science Academy for a select number of gifted and talented high school students.

St. Clair County is a great place to live and work – and it's also a great place to learn. Academically, St. Clair County schools provide high-quality programs at all grade levels. That quality is reflected in our students, who consistently score above average in state assessment tests.
