This information is for the 2021-22 school year only. For information about the new High School Student Assignment Plan beginning in the 2022-23 school year, please see the High School 2022-23 page. 

Neighborhood School

A student’s neighborhood school is determined by his/her residential address.  Please refer to the Find Your School application or contact the Student Placement Office at (531) 299-0302 to determine a student’s neighborhood school. The Student Assignment Plan, by default, assigns and guarantees enrollment of a high school student to his/her neighborhood school.

Any student attending his/her neighborhood school at the four magnet high schools – Benson, North, Northwest and South – is eligible for transportation if he/she resides >3.0-miles walking distance from the school.

Any student attending his/her neighborhood school of Northwest and resides in the shared Burke/Northwest attendance area is eligible for transportation.

Any student attending his/her neighborhood school of Bryan, Burke and Central is not eligible for transportation.

Non-Neighborhood School

Students may request placement in any non-neighborhood high school in the school district.  While enrollment at the neighborhood school is guaranteed, approval in a non-neighborhood school is based on space available at the requested grade and the selection criteria during the application process.

Any student attending a non-neighborhood school is eligible for transportation to that school if he/she resides >1.0-mile from the school and meets the integrative criteria during the application process.

Transportation to a non-neighborhood school is also subject to the school placement and transportation routing timeline and the time of year a student selects or changes schools.
