Palm Beach County Public Schools Overview

The School District of Palm Beach County is the fifth-largest school district in Florida and the tenth-largest in the United States, serving approximately 180,000 students in nearly 200 schools. The district covers a 50-mile coastal corridor along Florida's Gold Coast, from Boca Raton in the south to Jupiter in the north.

Palm Beach County is distinctive among Florida districts for incorporating major Jewish High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur) into its school calendar as official holidays, reflecting the region's significant Jewish community. The district also offers a wide range of School Choice options, career academies in marine science, aerospace, and culinary arts, and a fully online Virtual School.

As a hurricane-prone coastal county, Palm Beach builds designated makeup days into every calendar. The projected 2026–2027 calendar follows the district's traditional scheduling pattern; official dates are subject to School Board approval, typically finalized in the spring.
