School Districts


If you have children, one of your primary concerns before buying a home in Southeastern NC may be school districts. Test scores, turnover, graduation statistics, and overcrowding may all be on your mind. Choosing the right school district for you includes factoring in a number of features - preferred lifestyle, cost, and everything metioned before. You will want to know where the public school districts begin and end. For public school district information, visit the following links.

New Hanover County School District Map - Great search by home address included.



If you're interested in private schools, our web site has a list of schools, including non-public. However, keep in mind that redistricting usually occurs during the Summer. Parents from Echo Farms and Rivers Edge communities in New Hanover County are facing redistricting, because a new school is being built in the northern part of the county. This redistricting will affect 2,400 students. Read more here.


To locate information about school performance, browse the following sites:

Trulia.com - Locate homes near schools, view user ratings and reviews of schools, and see graphs of test scores and enrollment. Example school - New Hanover High School.
