Cincinnati Public Schools (often abbreviated CPS) is the U.S. state of Ohio's third-largest public school district, by enrollment, after Columbus City Schools and Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Cincinnati Public Schools is the largest Ohio school district rated as 'effective'. Founded in 1829 as the Common Schools of Cincinnati, it is governed by the Cincinnati Board of Education.

In addition to Cincinnati, the district includes Amberley, Golf Manor, Ridgewood, most of Silverton, and a portion of Fairfax. It also includes sections of Columbia Township.[2]
