Questions to ask before choosing an address
Which district actually serves the addresses we are considering in Houston County?
Which attendance zones, transfer rules, and transportation policies apply inside the local district?
What changes at the elementary-to-middle and middle-to-high transitions in the district pathway we would likely use?
