Pearl Rhodes Elementary School ceased operations after the 2018–2019 school year due to financial constraints and declining student enrollment. Subsequently, Warwick Community School also closed for similar reasons the following year. As a result of these closures, the district now has only two elementary schools remaining.
The schools are:
- Bernardston: Bernardston Elementary School (K-6, serving the towns of Bernardston and Leyden)
- Northfield: Northfield Elementary School (K-6, serving the towns of Northfield and Warwick ) and Pioneer Valley Regional School (7-12, district-wide)
The District is governed by a 12-member School Committee, with three members elected from each of the four district towns.
