Baltimore City Public School System

The Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) is a public school district in the state of Maryland that serves the youth of city of Baltimore (in distinction to the county of Baltimore). The BCPSS was part of the Baltimore City Government but became separate from the government in 1997 when the state took control of the school system. There are several public elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools in Baltimore City. The BCPSS is currently in a severe fiscal crisis, with over $64 million in deficit, with extensive layoffs of teachers and staff. The largest school in physical size in Baltimore City is Lake Clifton Eastern High School. The district also holds the second oldest public high school in America, Baltimore City College.
