2022-23 Elementary BoundariesThe Need for Balancing Enrollment
Prince George County continues to be a top destination for families in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As our division prepares for our community's future growth and modernization of the district's facilities, adjusting elementary school boundaries to ensure all of our elementary schools can support the instructional needs of our students is an important process for Prince George County Public Schools.
 
The Process
During the division's most recent elementary boundary adjustment project, which began in the Spring of 2022, to establish new elementary boundaries beginning for the 2023-24 School Year, Prince George County Public Schools partnered with Cooperative Strategies to aid in the research and development of new boundaries. 
 
During the approximately year-long process, the division and the Prince George School Board engaged with stakeholders, including faculty, staff, and families, to garner feedback and perspectives on preliminary boundaries. These stakeholders participated in online surveys, virtual focus groups (via Zoom), and in-person community meetings. 
 
This information was utilized by the division and school board to develop the final boundary option selected by the Prince George School Board during their meeting on Thursday, January 19, 2023.
