Matanuska-Susitna School District Boundaries January 7th, 2013

Palmer High School

Buyers often focus on a particular schools boundaries in their home search. Sometimes their children are already in a particular school or perhaps they have heard good things about a different school. For the past ten years or so the Colony District has been the most popular.

Back in 2004, I happened to live in the Colony district but chose Palmer High School for one of our daughters because it has an International Baccalaureate Program, as well as a fantastic music department. Since then, we’ve moved into the Palmer district and our son attends there fulltime.

I am usually a little uncomfortable to tell someone that a home is in their desired school district because these boundaries can change. Couple that with the fact that new district boundaries were historically hard to determine. You had to get a hard copy of the new map after the boundaries were changed.

Thankfully, the Mat-Su School District has put these boundaries on web. All the boundary maps are listed here Please remember that these boundaries can change with shifts of population or when a new school is built.

About the only way to curb it from happening (getting re-zoned and not being in the district you want) is to move RIGHT by the school. I lived a half block away from my elementary school growing up and there’s no way that they would have re-zoned us.
