The Grand Forks and Grand Forks Air Force Base School Districts work together in a unique arrangement to serve the 7,200 students who attend schools in the two communities. Eleven hundred people are employed including 700 teachers and 400 support and administrative staff. Two grades 9-12 high schools, an alternative high school, four grades 6-8 middle schools, 12 twelve elementary schools, and one Head Start Program comprise the arrangement of the schools.
