Cincinnati Public Schools (often abbreviated CPS) is the U.S. state of Ohio's third-largest public school district, by enrollment, after Columbus City Schools and Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Cincinnati Public Schools is the largest Ohio school district rated as 'effective'. Founded in 1829 as the Common Schools of Cincinnati, it is governed by the Cincinnati Board of Education.
In addition to Cincinnati, the district includes Amberley, Golf Manor, Ridgewood, most of Silverton, and a portion of Fairfax. It also includes sections of Columbia Township.[2]
Hiram S. Gilmore established what became known as Gilmore High School in 1844 for African American students in Cincinnati. Public high schools including Gaines High School administered by a "colored" school board followed but were the subject of litigation.[3]
The Cincinnati Public School District covers an area of 91 square miles including all of the City of Cincinnati, Amberley Village, Cheviot and Golf Manor; most of the City of Silverton; parts of Fairfax and Wyoming; and small parts of Anderson, Columbia, Delhi, Green, Springfield and Sycamore townships.
