I can't give you a definitive number, but it would have to be in the hundreds of thousands. There are 50 states. Each state would have dozens to a hundred counties/parishes and each county/parish would have between 1 and 50 school districts. Each district would have one high school. This does not include the private schools.

Just that a state.  There are atleast 2 states for each location in the Continental (USA). i.e. there is the United States (a Corporation of the District of Columbia) and then the United States of America, representing the Republic that was formed by our constitution.

By Most Accounts, 192 is the Correct Answer\nA very frequent geographical question is "How many countries are in the world?." Different numbers pop up when one inquires or reads about the number of countries in the world. Each source you use often yields a different answer.\nUnited Nations\n\nThere are 191 members of the United Nations. Unfortunately, the number 191 is too often used to represent the number of countries in the world. Although this number represents almost all of the countries in the world, there is still one country (the Vatican City) that is independent and has chosen not to become a member of the U.N. so 191 is not the number of countries in the world.\n\nU.S. Department of State\n\nThe United States' State Department recognizes 192 independent countries around the world.
