The Long Beach City School District is a public school district that provides education to The City of Long Beach, Lido Beach, Point Lookout and East Atlantic Beach on the South Shore of Long Island, New York. It currently houses a total of 4,355 students in all grades.^[4]

The school board is composed of five elected members. Currently the board members are: Roy Lester (President), Darlene Tangney (Vice President), Dr. Dennis Ryan (Trustee), Patrick Gallagher (Trustee), and Stewart Mininsky (Trustee).

Although it identifies publicly as Long Beach Public Schools, it is actually not a 'public school district'—a legal term in New York—but an 'extended city school district', meaning it has a great deal more autonomy and flexibility than a regular school district.

The current Superintendent is David Weiss.
