     Assignment Policy

     
    Each Student enrolled in Craven County Schools is assigned to the school of his/her grade level serving the attendance zone in which that student’s parent/legal guardian is domiciled.  ( Ref: Policy 4150)

     

    Determining School Assignment Districts

    Information on school assignment districts can be obtained by calling Craven County Schools Central Office at 252-514-6300 or you may visit our District website at www.cravenk12.org.  You will need to provide an exact street address to determine which school your child will attend.

     

    Enrollment of a child under false documents subjects the person to liability for tuition or other costs. In case where incorrect information is provided, the Board of Education reserves the right to immediately transfer the student to his/her appropriate school.
