Some school head-teachers were said to have encountered difficulties in getting the content removed, which was targeted at children and reportedly described as "unpleasant", "offensive" and "vile".
According to The York Press, Millthorpe head-teacher Trevor Burton said Facebook would not take down two of the pages which mentioned his school.
Others also reportedly had problems, including a delay of several days in removing content after it was reported to the social network.
A spokesman for Facebook said the site was not a "place for bullying and harassment" and that the company had a "real name policy" in addition to links for reporting material.
"When a page such as this crosses a line and posts bullying content then we will remove it," the spokesman said.
But the police have had to be called into to help.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: "A number of inappropriate Facebook pages attributed to schools in the county have been reported to North Yorkshire Police in recent weeks.
"Officers have been working with the schools to give staff and pupils advice and help have the pages removed by Facebook."
