Concept information

Preferred term

politically defined school boundaries  

Definition(s)

  • School catchment zones, or school attendance zones, are political boundaries established by public school districts as the conventional means of assigning students to schools according to their residence location. To ensure that schools adapt to demographic changes in the community, school catchment zone boundaries are relatively mutable.
