CAN MY CHILD ATTEND SCHOOL ON POST IF I LIVE OFF POST?
Yes! Students who live off post may enroll in the Fort Campbell schools if sponsor’s assignment to family quarters is made within 180 school days. Upon parent request, the housing office must provide a written statement. Students will be subject to dis-enrollment unless the sponsor provides proof of occupancy in on-post housing in this 180 school day period. However, the family must provide transportation to and from school.
CAN I CHOOSE WHICH OFF POST SCHOOL MY CHILD WILL ATTEND?
The off post school districts require a student to attend the school designated for his or her residence. Most off post districts do not allow children to move out of the assigned school. However, some districts have developed a limited school-of-choice or open enrollment policy for students who wish to attend a school or program outside the area for which they are zoned. Applications for such request are usually offered at one specific time of the year. In most cases, attendance zone exceptions are limited by space including program space availability in the receiving school. Contact your local school district for specifics.
WHICH SCHOOL IS THE BEST TO ATTEND?
Each parent and child must decide which school is best for them. This decision is best made by visiting prospective schools, researching the schools via their web page, and talking to teachers, children, and administrators. Since your street address designates where your child will attend school, we recommend you shop for a school before you shop for a house.
