Welcome to Niles Community Schools.  We are located in the southwest corner of Michigan, eight miles from the University of Notre Dame and less than a two hour travel to downtown Chicago. The shores of Lake Michigan are about twenty five minutes away.

Within the ninety square miles of the district we have a nice mix of urban, suburban, and rural settings. Diversity is one of our district's strength with a student population of 15% African-American, 80% Caucasian, and around 5% Hispanic. Approximately 40% of our students are eligible for free and reduced lunch.

The district has 4,000 students. We are the largest district in our area and we offer more sports, more extracurricular activities, and more academic opportunities than any other district. The district is small enough to make personal attention to students a priority.

The 9^th through 12^th grade high school has 1100 students and offers many Advanced Placement and online courses. Our high school has been recognized as a statewide leader in career pathways and models a program preparing students for the next level.
