London City Schools

380 Elm St., 2nd Floor
740-852-5700

The School District known as the London City School District is located in the central area of Ohio, within Madison County, and encompasses 54 square miles.  The School District includes the City of London and the Townships of Deer Creek, Somerford, and portions of Union Township.  The City of London is located approximately 20 miles southwest of Columbus, Ohio.  The School District is bordered on the west by Clark County, the east by Jefferson Local School District, the south by Madison Plains Local School District and shares another border to the north with Jonathan Alder Local School District.

London High School opened in 1981, and completed renovations in 2011.  The current site of London Elementary School was opened in 2004 and is directly adjacent and attached to London High School.  The London Middle School opened the doors of their new facility in the fall of 2011 and it is directly across Elm Street from the other two buildings.  The property for the Middle School was obtained in a land trade with the City of London.  The City of London received all buildings and property at the downtown campus, the original site of the Central Building and old London High School.  During the summer of 2011 the Board of Education office moved their offices to the second floor of the London Elementary building.  All buildings for the London City School District are now housed on one campus, and serves a student population of over 2100 students within its three schools.

While the City of London is growing, we still value that small town atmosphere where everyone is known and respected.  We are dedicated to providing a safe, warm, caring and academically challenging experience for every child.  Another of our positive characteristics is that our School District is comprised of a diverse population, similar to the composite demographics of our nation as a whole.  As a result, upon graduation, our students are well prepared socially to deal with the diversity in our society that adults have to face every day.  The London City Schools also embrace continuous improvement.  We are constantly analyzing our academic data and targeting areas for change, with our goal of success for every child.  Through our academic and co-curricular programs, we expect all students to learn the academic, social, and personal skills needed to be ethical, responsible, contributing citizens of our world.  London has a proud heritage and our Board of Education, administration, teachers and support staff will cooperate and collaborate to ensure that we build on that heritage and that our families will always be proud of the quality of education their children receive.
