The California Area School District is a small public school district serving the boroughs of Allenport, California, Coal Center, Elco, Long Branch and Roscoe and West Pike Run Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania.

For a few years in the early 1950s California Area was in a jointure with Centerville Schools, with long-term plans to build a single high school, but Centerville withdrew from the jointure.

California Area School District encompasses approximately thirty-five square miles (91 km2).

California competes in single A WPIAL sports which include baseball, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.
