The Piddig Schools District Office governs all public and private elementary schools and high schools within the municipality.[2]
Almost each barrio or barangay in Piddig has its own elementary school. The town's poblacion Anao, historically had one that was found in 1912, Piddig Elementary School. In the late 1970s, the school split into two, Piddig (North) Central and Piddig South Central because the school couldn't accommodate the large number of students.
Another one is Ab-abut Elementary School - whose original name was Ab-abut-Sucsuquen Elementary School but was later parsed ostensibly because the whole name could not be accommodated in the gate that was installed.
There are four high schools in Piddig: Piddig National High School, Roosevelt High School, St. Anne Academy (Catholic) and Estancia Integrated School. However, many students attend high schools in nearby Laoag City.
