LDSB includes 55 elementary schools, 11 secondary schools and the Limestone School of Community Education. The community served by each school is indicated in the list below after each schools name. Some students may attend a school outside of the area they reside so that they may attend a special program. The school board is expecting declining enrolment until about 2016.

The Board of Trustees of the Limestone Board have agreed to build three new elementary and high schools within the district. These schools will be built in the Pittsburgh District of the City of Kingston, in the south end of the Town of Napanee and in Sharbot Lake. A number of existing elementary schools in the district will be closed when these new consolidated schools open.

Limestone's Board of Trustees are elected officials responsible for the operation of public schools in the district. Trustees are the critical link between community and school boards. They ensure public schools meet the diverse needs of students in their community. They are elected by the public school taxpayers every four years, during municipal elections and are directly accountable to the community. The current nine-member Board will serve until November 30, 2014. The Board also has two Student Trustees representing urban and rural secondary schools. They serve a one-year term and are elected by the Limestone District Inter-School Student Council each spring.
