Questions to ask before choosing an address
Which district actually serves the addresses we are considering in Greenwood County?
Do the neighborhoods we like fall inside the same district, or are we comparing different Greenwood County district systems?
Where do students transition after the visible grade band, and is that next school inside the same district path?
If we need a program not visible in the NCES flags, which district office can confirm current offerings?
Are the largest listed schools the ones our address can actually attend, or are they only county-level context?
