The Seattle Public Schools just released the proposed attendance area boundary maps. Here’s a link to find all the attendance areas by school. Under this plan, all Magnolia students will attend Ballard High School. Here is a link to Ballard’s attendance area.
Parents raised concerns that Ballard students would be bussed to Ingraham High School while Queen Anne and Magnolia students went to Ballard High School. According to the map, the cutoff is NW 85th St. Any high school student north of there will go to Ingraham, south of there will go to Ballard.
This plan also applies to elementary and middle schools. Click here to enter your address and view your school assignments.
As part of the Student Assignment Plan (.pdf) which was approved in June, the district was given the green light to draw boundaries around each school so students will know where he or she will go to elementary, middle and high school based on their address. There will be no more district-wide open enrollment to apply for schools.
The district will hold informational meetings throughout the city to hear feedback on the attendance areas. The meeting for our area will be held at Ballard High School from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on October 14th. The School Board will vote on the map on November 18th. The entire plan will be implemented in phases starting in the 2010-2011 school year.
