The North Smithfield School District is a school district in the Primrose section of North Smithfield, Rhode Island.

During the American Revolution, one of North Smithfield's first recorded schools was founded in the home of Elisha Thornton near modern-day Slatersville.

In the 1800s many local students attended the private Bushee Academy (Smithfield Union Village Academy) in Union Village.

The wooden building was replaced by a larger brick building in the early twentieth century, which currently serves as the North Smithfield school superintendent's office, adjacent to the high school and middle school.

[3][4] Prior to its completion, North Smithfield students attended North Smithfield Junior-Senior High School held within the current high school building.
