Boundaries

Identifying your school boundary

There are three ways to determine which schools serve your home:

1. Search for your address in the Clark County Property Information Center to determine your school of attendance for next year. Click on the link and follow the instructions. This site is managed by Clark County and has detailed information about your property, including school boundary information. “Schools” are listed in the left column.

2. Use the school district’s attendance area maps.

3. Contact the Battle Ground Public Schools Transportation/Boundary Office at 360-885-6577 or email.

Boundary exceptions

In-district student transfer procedures
Students who live in Battle Ground School District attend the school that serves their residential area, except for those students who have requested an in-district student transfer and whose transfer has been approved by the receiving school.

Parents can submit transfer requests starting Jan. 11 for the following school year. Here’s the process:

  • Request the in-district student transfer form from the school you want to attend and return it to the school you want to attend. When school buildings are closed, you can also download a fillable form and return it via email to the boundaries department.

  • The staff will record the date and time on the application form when it is received by the school and forward it for release to the resident school.

  • The resident principal will release the student and forward the form back to the principal at the requested school.

  • The principal at the requested school will accept the transfer or deny it and mark the reason for denial.

  • The requested school will send copies of the form to the appropriate persons or schools.

For 8th-grade students who want to attend a high school other than their resident high school, the process is:

  • Request the in-district student transfer form from the current middle school.

  • Return the completed form to the requested high school with the registration papers.

  • Staff will record the date and time on the application form when it is received by the school.

Out-of-district student transfer procedures

The process for out-of-district transfers is different than the in-district transfer process. Students who wish to transfer out of the Battle Ground School District need to fill out the choice transfer form and then return it electronically.

Students who live outside Battle Ground Public Schools boundaries and wish to transfer to a school within the district need to begin the process at their resident district.

Application forms for out-of-district student transfers will be accepted starting at 7 a.m. on May 1 for the following school year. Please email your completed and signed form to the boundaries office on or after 7 a.m. on May 1. It will be processed in the order in which it is received. You may request that a transfer form be mailed to you by emailing the boundaries office.

Current Battle Ground students who live outside the district may submit a letter of intent to attend a Battle Ground school beginning Jan. 11, but must still submit a choice transfer form to the student’s home district on May 1.
