+Information Overload?
Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered:

+There’s two of ’em
Wordpress.com Wordpress.org
+WordPress.com
Free and easy to setup
No stress: setup, upgrades, spam = covered
Posts are backed up
Provide themes for you (100+)
User.wordpress.com (although you can redirect)
Can’t upload plugins
Can’t use custom themes
PROS CONS
+WordPress.org
Free CMS
Run ads
Some free themes, but also have the ability to upload themes and control the look and feel of your site
Ability to upload plugins
Great community
Complete control over coding (if you know how or want to learn)
Need web host (which costs money)
A little bit more techy
Have to upgrade software
PROS CONS
+Hosting
Your website needs to live somewhere
Your district may provide space (but you still want your site to be catchy and easy to remember – URL redirect)
