Berkley School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berkley School District is a United States school district serving the entirety of Berkley, Huntington Woods, and the northern portion of Oak Park, in the state of Michigan. The superintendent is Scott Francis. Created in 1840, the district currently serves 4,700 students.[1] The Center of Advanced Studies & the Arts is a special consortium school that draws high school students from 6 six neighboring school districts. CASA offers courses that would not otherwise have enough students to be taught within one district.

It operates the following schools:[2]

  • Anderson Middle School (opened 1957)- Gr 6-8
