Attendance zone

Zones are drawn by Atlanta Public Schools, so a neighborhood name or mailing address does not settle which school a home is zoned for. Check the address with the APS School Zone Locator; the district’s zone map for Jackson Elementary shows the school’s boundary.

Students at Jackson Elementary go on to Sutton Middle and then North Atlanta High, according to the district’s feeder pattern list. APS says its cluster model sends every student at an elementary school to the same middle school and then the same high school.

We found no board-approved rezoning that changes Jackson Elementary’s zone. In December 2025 the Atlanta Board of Education approved Phase 1 of APS Forward 2040, the district’s long-range facilities plan, which closes six schools in fall 2027, according to the district. The zone changes that follow, which the board is scheduled to vote on Monday, Dec. 7, are centered on the closing elementary schools; draft maps are on the district’s APS Forward 2040 page.
