School Zones

In the State of Georgia, children who attend a public school, attend specific schools based on where their parent(s)/guardian(s) live. This is known as an attendance zone. 

A child may only attend a school outside of their attendance zone if they are approved for a public school choice transfer. Learn more about school choice.

You can use this online tool from the Bulloch County Tax Assessor's website to find your school zone based on the owner's name, physical address, lot parcel number of your residence and more. Access Bulloch County Tax Assessor's website.

Once you have entered the information to search and locate your property and your property information appears, follow these instructions to access your school zone:

• Click once on the Layers tab at the top left of the site menu bar to open the layer options.
• Click on the "zoning" option from the layer menu.
• Check either the elementary, middle or high school box under the school option from the layer menu.
• Your attendance zone school name will appear over your property location on the map.

Bulloch County Schools regularly monitors its school space capacities based on the student populations and the physical classroom occupancy space at each school. As student populations may rise or fall temporarily or permanently in an area, the school system can balance school capacity by either changing school attendance zones (based on residence address) or transportation zones (bus routes). In these instances a child that requires bus transportation may attend a school that is not in his or her attendance zone school. These are always communicated first to affected families and then to the public.

The school system has made two transportation zone changes in recent years, and these changes will remain in effect:

• 2018 Transportation Zone Changes :Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Mill Creek Elementary School's students in 2018.  The change took effect on Aug. 1, 2018. For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children are transported to either Sallie Zetterower Elementary School or Mattie Lively Elementary School instead of Mill Creek Elementary, depending on their address. Again, this change only affects students who ride a bus to school. Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools.

• 2015 Transportation Zone Changes: Bulloch County Schools adjusted the transportation zones for a portion of Langston Chapel Elementary School  students in 2015. This change took effect on Aug. 3, 2015.  For the affected families, if they require bus transportation services, the children will be transported to Sallie Zetterower Elementary School instead of Langston Chapel Elementary School, depending on their address. Again this change only affects students who ride a bus to school.  Attendance zones, which are based on property addresses, did not change for the schools
