School Boundary Changes
The Fargo School Board has approved changes to school boundaries that will affect middle and high school students starting in the fall of 2021 and the fall of 2022. Information can be found here:
https://www.fargo.k12.nd.us/BoundaryMaps
You will be able to look up your address as well as check to see what the implementation plan is for each boundary change. There are PDF's of the boundary maps for each school year.
Please note: there are no boundary changes for elementary school attendance boundaries.
Currently the address look up feature is a bit confusing for Eagles students due to being split when they go to middle school. In fall of 2022 Eagles will not longer be a split school and all Eagles students will attend Discovery Middle School. If you have any questions about a particular address, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the FPS District Office at 701-446-1000. Thank you!
It is WINTER!!!
