Kempsey has a variety of schools both large and small, government and independent. The three high schools are Kempsey High School located in West Kempsey largely servicing students living north of the Macleay, Melville High School in South Kempsey servicing those south of the river and the beachside communities, and St Paul's College.
Lobby groups are currently campaigning for a high school to be built at South West Rocks, despite the demographic projections of an ageing population.
