School Boundaries

Verify the boundary

District lines don't follow city limits, ZIP codes or Google Maps, and attendance zones can move. Treat this like checking a sewer line: confirm it for the exact address.

Find the district for an address

This gives you the district from federal boundary data. Only the district can tell you the assigned school. Your address isn't saved.

District map

Kitsap, the Gig Harbor peninsula and Mason County. This shows districts, not the attendance zones inside them.

Boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb, simplified for this map. Parts of Mason County are served by smaller districts (Grapeview, Hood Canal, Pioneer, Southside). If you're looking there, ask which schools older students attend.

Where to check each district

We list districts rather than rate them. Plans below were on each district's site in November 2026 and can change.

Six checks before you make an offer

Don't rely on the listing site. School assignments on home search sites can lag behind. Use the district's own tool with the exact address.
Call and confirm. Ask the district which schools serve this address today, especially near a boundary line.
Ask about the next review. When was the last boundary review, and is one on the calendar?
Read the capital plan. New schools, closures and replacements often lead to boundary changes. Levy and bond pages show what's coming.
Check the morning routine. Ask about bus stops, walk zones and ride times. Living just inside a walk zone can mean no bus at all.
Visit, and see the numbers yourself. Tour the schools you'd use, and look them up on the state's OSPI report card.
