Primary education is catered for at Dringhouses Primary School on St Helens Road.
The original school was founded in 1849 - adjacent to the church.
 In 1852 a new school was built and is now the local library.
It then moved into the old school house on its present site next to the railway in 1904, designed by architect Walter Brierley.

After the school moved the 1852 building was used as a reading room until 1942.
Part of the Grade II listed building then became the Wilkinson Memorial Library, usually referred to as Dringhouses Library, when the building was given for the benefit of the local citizens following the death of Colonel Wilkinson in 1941.
A plaque to commemorate this was unveiled in March 2016.

York College has its campus at the former Tollcross at the south-western edge of Dringhouses and caters for Sixth Form and Further Education in York.
The college was built on the area previously occupied by Ashfield Secondary School, the nearby old York College of Arts & Technology being demolished for a new housing estate.
