Know the place, then verify the address.

Community names, postal addresses, city limits and school boundaries do not always match. These guides include all six incorporated cities and towns plus county-listed and additional planning communities. They are starting points, not a parcel-level boundary determination.

Confirm the exact address with the relevant jurisdiction and school district. Explore schools using official information and your household’s needs, rather than a ranking or a promise of enrollment.
