Attendance Areas
Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) determines which school your child will attend based on your physical (home) address.
Residents can learn which schools serve a particular area by searching for a street address in the Albemarle County GIS Viewer. Once a property is identified, users can select "Other Parcel Characteristics" in the Details menu on the right side of the page to view the elementary, middle and high school districts associated with that property.
Alternatively, residents can review our school district maps to get an idea of which schools serve a particular area:
- All School Districts
- Elementary School Districts
- Middle School Districts
- High School Districts
- School Locations
Additional maps can be accessed on Albemarle County's County Maps web page.
Important Note: While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, please note that school districts listed on the GIS Web application are unofficial. Any official decision about which school district a particular house or parcel belongs to must be made by the ACPS Transportation Department at (434) 973-5716.
Feeder Patterns
ACPS is organized into three school feeder patterns, each centered on one high school. The feeder patterns below show the elementary and middle school pathways that typically lead to each high school.
Expanding Access to Learning Experiences
ACPS offers students the opportunity to participate in unique courses and explore career pathways of interest at a location other than their base school. By eliminating geography from the equation, ACPS is expanding student access to engaging, meaningful and relevant learning opportunities.
Note: Students who attend classes at a location other than their base school remain eligible to participate in performances, athletics and activities at their base high school.
