Apalachee Cluster Rezoning Proposal
In August 2023, the Barrow County School System will open its tenth (10th) elementary school on the Innovation Campus off Austin Road. Below, you can review the process and considerations for the new elementary school.
Two rezoned maps have been recommended by the committee.
If anyone has any concerns about either map, please complete the input form for the elementary and/or middle school proposal no later than January 15, 2023.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROPOSAL
The rezone committee has proposed the following map to rezone the elementary schools in the Apalachee Cluster.
Features:
- Most balanced distribution of students among schools
- Projected growth is best distributed among schools
- Maintains major roads as dividing lines
- Traffic patterns are better than with other options
If you have concerns about or suggested improvements to the elementary school proposal, please complete the input form here.
MIDDLE SCHOOL PROPOSAL
The rezone committee has proposed the following map to rezone the middle schools in the Apalachee Cluster.
NOTE: This option does not maintain the feeder school format, per the committee’s choice. This means some elementary schools will feed into more than one middle school. See below for more information.
Features:
- No changes for Middle School Attendance Zones or Transportation Routes
- More even distribution of students among middle schools
- More flexibility for future growth
- Transition to new middle school easier for students
If you have concerns about or suggested improvements to the middle school proposal, please complete the input form here.
FEEDER SCHOOLS
The options recommended by the rezone committee do not maintain the feeder school format. This means some elementary schools will feed into more than one middle school. As you can see in the map below, students at the new elementary school and Bethlehem Elementary will not all attend the same middle school. At each of these two schools, some students will attend Westside Middle and some students will attend Haymon-Morris Middle.
If you have concerns about or suggested improvements to the middle school rezoning proposal, please complete the input form here.
We are thrilled to announce Julia Hodges as the principal for the new elementary school...
