The schools are a K-5 elementary school, a 6-8 middle school, and a 9-12 high school (Cherokee High School). The Ravensford Campus, the academic campus, occupies much of the historic Ravensford archaeological site. In 1987–88, the elementary school was recognized as a Blue Ribbon School.

The district has its own school board. By 1996 the school board contracted with the Cherokee Boys' Club, which operated the school district's finances, cafeterias, and school buses.
