The Maple Heights City School District encompasses the entire City of Maple Heights. The School District was originally part of Bedford. The U.S. Census in 1923, revealed that Maple Heights was populous enough to be legally separated from the County School System and be classified by the State of Ohio as an exempted village school district.

The first Maple Heights Board of Education was organized in 1924 during which, forty-five students began their high school studies in the old town hall. By 1928, school officials recognized the need for a larger high school. Clement which had opened in 1925, was selected to be the site of the high school which opened in 1931. By 1930, the population of Maple Heights had reached 5,950. Four public schools were in operation with an enrollment of 1,188 pupils and a staff of forty teachers. What was once Maple Grove dedicated in 1933, is now known as Granger which presently serves as the District’s Administration. School

Presently, there are five schools in the District, one high school (grades 9-12), one middle school (grades 6-8) and three grade-level elementary schools.
