This is a crowdsourcing form. We are trying to maintain a list of great sites that teachers and students can use to download images for use in school projects. We want to focus on sites that provide free, searchable images with Creative Commons Attribution or Creative Commons 0-like licensing permissions.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with any site you will be using with your students. Always look at the Terms of Service and Licensing pages to determine if there are age restrictions for use. For example, Unsplash should only be used by students aged 13+. Additionally, some sites might not be suited for younger students. For example, the medical or cultural content on Europeana and the Wellcome Collection might be scary for younger students. Ask yourself whether any of the sites have too much or the wrong type of advertising.

Europeana Collections

EUROPEANA - As this wonderful site states, users have access to millions of resources (artwork, artifacts, books, films and music) from European museums, galleries, libraries and archives. The aim is to share Europe's rich cultural heritage with the world. Europeana is an initiative of the European Union. If you create an account you can save liked items and create your own galleries.
There are a range of licenses assigned to images throughout the site. There are a wealth of resources teaches and students can use in their work. Once you perform a top-level keyword search you can filter by media and licensing type. You can get as granular as Creative Commons 0 (CC0).
If you need further detail on licensing beyond what is shared with each artifact, you can access it from the Terms & Policies page: https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/rights.html
There is also a nice area for teachers to explore - https://www.europeana.eu/en/europeana-classroom
