The Loveland City School District, known locally as Loveland City Schools, is a city school district that covers more than 15 square miles (39 km²) in three counties — Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren — in the U.S. state of Ohio. The district encompasses the city of Loveland and reaches into Goshen, Hamilton, Miami, and Symmes Townships. Loveland Schools serves a population of 50,000 residents, including the city of Loveland. Fewer than 40% of students reside in the city proper.^[1] Loveland Schools' current student enrollment is 4,200 in six schools for the 2022-23 school year.^[2] Until May 2013, the district superintendent was Chad Hilliker.

Then in 1926, the East Loveland and West Loveland school districts merged. In 1956, Branch Hill School District merged with Loveland.^[6]^[9] When Loveland reincorporated as a city in 1961, Loveland Exempted Village School District became Loveland City School District.
