Attendance zone

WCPSS assigns every address a base elementary, middle and high school. Enter an address in the district’s base school lookup to see all three, or browse the base attendance area map. Zones do not follow town limits or mailing addresses. We did not find a published feeder list on the district’s enrollment pages, so the pairings above come from the lookup itself; Student Assignment, 919-431-7333, can confirm an address.

The list of proposed base area changes in the district’s draft 2027-28 enrollment plan, which the Board of Education is scheduled to vote on Nov. 17 after a public hearing Oct. 20, does not name Heritage Middle. None of the 1,000 Wake Forest homes in our check would change schools under the draft, according to the district’s proposal lookup.
