- Typically, with a small amount of state oversight, an elected local school board controlled each district, traditionally with a county school superintendent or regional director elected to supervise day-to-day activities of several common school districts.
- Because common schools were locally controlled and the United States was very rural in the nineteenth century, most common schools were small one-room centers.

- Unlike public school teaching jobs, private school teaching jobs do not necessarily require a specific degree in education or a license by the state.
- Although hiring requirements may vary from school to school, most private schools do require that teachers have at least a four year degree and experience in the field that they plan to teach.
- Licensing prerequisites also depend on the school.
-
- Unlike their elementary school counterparts, high school teachers usually teach multiple classes in a particular subject.
- In some private schools, such as Catholic schools, theology is required before a student graduates.
- Secondary school teachers are certified in one of two areas for secondary education: middle school or high school (and in some states, certification can be to teach grades 6-12).
- In Missouri, for example, middle school certification covers grades 6–8, elementary school certification covers up to grade 5, and high school certification covers grades 9–12.
- This reflects the wide range of grade combinations of middle schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools.
