The school district has approximately 1500 students enrolled in three different schools, which include a PreK – 5 Elementary, a Middle School with grades 6 – 8, and a 9 – 12 High School.

The towns that comprise the district are Copake and Hillsdale; the Village of Philmont; and parts of the Towns of Ancram, Austerlitz, Claverack, Gallatin, Ghent, Livingston, Northeast and Taghkanic.Community expectations for public education have traditionally focused on offering its students a sound, basic education as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible, including an Advanced Placement program.
