The Middlesboro district boundary is marked in black.</ref> The district operates one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school.<ref>[http://www.mboro.k12.ky.us/ Middlesboro District]</ref> The two elementary schools are separate facilities that share the same campus design (both schools are designed in an "X" shape), and the middle and high schools are separate facilities on one campus on the west side of town. In recent years Middlesboro Independent Schools has leased the X-shaped building formerly used as East End Intermediate to a local church.
