Schools are traditionally organized by grade bands.

The official zone boundary for each elementary, middle, and high school is established by the Atlanta Board of Education. Atlanta Public Schools (APS) uses the legal address indicated in tax records for the residence. Students are to attend the school in the zone in which is located the bona fide residence of their parents/legal guardians unless they have administrative approval to enroll elsewhere.

There are some simple ways to help you decide on a specific educational institution:

Visiting the official website . Today, all schools have pages. They indicate which houses a particular object is assigned to.
Direct contact with the administration . Sometimes you may encounter a situation where there is no information on the site. This is especially common in situations where the microdistrict is just being built up and a new house may simply not have time to be added to the list. In this case, contact the educational institution by the specified phone numbers or e-mail. Some parents use such a consultation as a chance to visit the educational institution in person, inspect it, and meet with the administration for the first time. It helps to learn a lot of new things.
Obtaining information from your participation in elections . If you are registered in an apartment, then the polling station will most likely be located in the same school that is assigned to a particular house.
Making a request to the Department of Education . It is most convenient to use the regional Internet reception, which a particular department has. In this case, you can simply fill out a special form on the site.

Can a child be expelled because Is the school tied to another house? This may happen after the next reform, which periodically occur in the educational sphere. By law, if you did not enter a school by registration, or the conditions somehow changed, expulsion excluded. The reverse decision can be made only if another the educational institution issued an order for enrollment.
Can they refuse admission to a school for which fixed house? This is relevant if the area is especially a prestigious and popular educational institution, in which the queues for admission are quite large. Teachers and management may begin to evade, try under different excuses to deny you admission. You can't let go of the situation, because that the position is illegal.

how to find out in 2023?

Until the child is 6-8 years old, parents should be concerned about which school they will send the child to.

It is important to understand that in each region of our country specific houses are assigned to schools.

And when enrolling children in the first grade, the school administration is obliged, first of all, to accept children to the school to which they belong on a territorial basis.

But how do you know which school a house at an address belongs to? After all, it often happens that schools are located next to each other, and parents begin to get lost and wonder which educational institution to enroll their child in?

Why tie a school to specific houses?

The Law of the Russian Federation "On Education" states that residential facilities must be linked to specific educational institutions. This is to ensure that:

Children who live near the school can freely and easily visit the educational institution so that they do not have to spend time on the road to school.
Children could receive a quality education. The convenience (proximity) of the location of the school is an important factor for the further progress of children.
The load on educational institutions must be evenly distributed. If there were no such territorial distribution, then there would be schools with a large agiotage of students, and there would be such institutions where there would be a shortage of students.

How can I find out which school a child belongs to in 2023?

There are several ways to determine the territorial affiliation of a child to a particular school.

Method 1. Find out information on the official website of the educational institution

If there are not one, but two or three schools near your home, and you don't know which one you should send your child to based on a territorial basis, then you can go to the website of a particular school and find this information.

The website of any school must contain information about the territorial binding of houses . If you cannot find this information, you can always call the phone numbers listed in the contacts of the educational institution.

Information about the location of houses and schools is publicly available, so the secretary or other authorized person must answer this question.

Method 2. Get information from the Department of Education of a particular region (district)

You can get information from local governments .

To do this, you can enter the website of the state body, write an e-mail, or personally visit this authority and find out the necessary information: streets related to schools, or house numbers assigned to educational institutions.

Method 3. Ask neighbors

It is often enough to ask your neighbors which school your house belongs to, because many of them also have children who want or went to school.

Method 4. Go to school on your own

Those who are not too lazy to walk around again can visit the school themselves, which, as they guess, their house may belong to. On the spot, they will be prompted whether this is so or they will have to go to a nearby school.

Method 5. Remember which school you went to the elections

The law of the Russian Federation "On the election of the President of the Russian Federation" clearly states that all citizens must vote at the place of registration .

Therefore, it is enough to remember which school you went to pay your civic duty or the address of which school was indicated in the invitation to the presidential election.

Can a child be expelled if, according to the territorial principle, he should study in another school?

No, if the child is already enrolled and studying, then no one has the right to expel him, except in the following circumstances:

the child received secondary education;
he was enrolled in another school;
he is moving to another institution and there is already an order for his enrollment;
he migrates to another country for permanent residence.

Is it possible to enroll a child in a school not by registration, but by the actual address of residence?

There are situations when families rent apartments in other cities without signing a rental agreement. In this case, the child will not have the right to study at the nearest school on a territorial basis.

In order to be eligible, parents must enter into a tenancy agreement with the landlord from whom they rent the apartment.

How can I find out which school an address belongs to?

This information is available from the city's Department of Education . This information can be viewed on the website of the department or visit the institution and personally familiarize yourself with the relevant documents.

Can a child be denied admission to a school if his or her home is territorially assigned to that school?

No, if the house where the child lives and is registered is territorially assigned to the relevant school, then neither the director nor his deputy has the right to refuse admission.

In densely populated cities, this problem may occur . This may be due to the fact that the vacancies were offered to other students who wanted to enter the school “through pull”.

But it is important to understand that if a child is assigned to this particular school at the address, but at the same time parents are told that there are no places, then you should not give up and go knocking on other doors.

You need to go to the local administration and file a complaint against the school management, arguing that the child should study there geographically.

Where can I find on the Internet which school the house belongs to?

Information about which school the house at the address is attached to can be viewed in the Department of Education for a particular city.

The necessary information can also be obtained via the Internet . To do this, you need to find the management site, specify the street name, house number, and then click on the "Search" button.

There are various ways to find out which school the house is attached to: personally visit the secretary or director of the educational institution and request information, view the data online on the school website, request this data from local authorities, ask neighbors.

There are many options for getting an answer to the question, the main thing is to understand that your child must be admitted to school on a territorial basis .
