How To Look Up ABSS School Districts

 

Need a Tool to Help Identify Neighborhoods in Your Preferred School Districts?

Finding a new home in your preferred school district can sometimes be confusing, especially if you are in an area that is close to a district boundry. The county provides a really helpful database and mapping service called GIS, that can help you visualize and research school districts.
  

What is Alamance County GIS:

 
“A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system that pulls information in about where things are, with aditional information about what those things are like. A GIS map can combine many layers of information stored in a database, with one layer containing information about properties, another about water features, another about streets, school districts, land contours, etc.”
 
**GIS Disclaimer: “THIS WEBSITE IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. ALAMANCE COUNTY shall assume no liability for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided regardless of how caused; or any decision made or action taken or not taken by user in reliance upon any information or data furnished hereunder.” So use this as a tool but always verify important information with the proper authority.
 
For example, you can use this tool to help identify the school district for a particular property but you should ALWAYS verify that information with the school board before making any decisions.

  

ReDistricting: Current School District vs Proposed School District:

The Alamance-Burlington School System is actively working on proposed redistricting. This could have direct impact on many local properties that could see their school districts change in the future.

Let’s look at a recent example:

My client was considering a home in the Town & Country Estates area of Burlington NC.

If you look at the current school district map, it’s in the Cummings HS district:

Town & Country Estates Current School District - 2020-02-25

If you look at the proposed future school district map, it may shift to the Eastern HS district in the near future:

Town & Country Estates Proposed Future School District - Screen Shot 2020-02-25

If school district is important to you, take into consideration the proposed redistricting changes before making a purchasing decision.

Verify with the School Board, Always!

Always verify with the school board directly when you have identified a potential property and ask about the proposed redistricting and timeline.

How To Look Up School Districts and Proposed School Disticts on Alamane County’s GIS Database:

Finding a new home in your preferred school district can sometimes be confusing, especially if you are in an area that is close to a district boundry. The county provides a really helpful database and mapping service called GIS, that can help you visualize and research school districts.
 

 

Go to the GIS Website (and accept the disclaimer): https://apps.alamance-nc.com/CountyGISMap/default.aspx

Select the “Layers” tab

Scroll down to the bottom and look for the “School Districts” section.

Check the layer that you want to see. Options include School Districts ES (Elementary), School Districts MS (Middle), School Districts HS (High), and Future High School Districts.

Pro Tip: It’s easier to see the districts if you turn off the “CitiesBig” layer in the “Base Map” section at the top of the layers panel.
