Redistricting is the process of examining and altering school attending zones within a school district. In Forsyth County Schools (FCS), this typically occurs one year prior to the opening of a new school.

This fall FCS is redistricting to relieve overcrowding at existing schools and to populate Poole's Mill Elementary School, which will open in August 2020 with grades K-5.

• Potentially impacted ES include, but are not limited to Sawnee, Matt, Kelly Mill, Silver City, and Coal Mountain ES

• Standard practice for grandfathering students: With a completed 20-21 out of district form, rising 5th-grade students and siblings can stay at their current school for 1 year (must provide own transportation)

NOTE:

• Middle and high school attendance lines will NOT change for 2020-21. 

• Policy AD: School Attendance Areas
