The first US public school was founded in April 1635 in Boston, Massachusetts. It started as a boys-only public school focused on the humanities and language, and transitioned to a co-ed school in 1972. According to MDR Education, in the US, there are nearly 80,000 K-12 public and private schools, 15,000 middle schools, and 20,000 high schools as of March 2024.
