About Paulding County School District
Paulding County School District’s 31,229 K–12 students ultimately sort into five residential high-school communities—East Paulding, Hiram, North Paulding, Paulding County and South Paulding—but the most consequential 2026–27 change occurred at the elementary level.
Crossroads Elementary opened for the first time this school year. To populate the new campus and rebalance nearby schools, the board approved “Plan Blue” on January 27, 2026, with new elementary attendance boundaries taking effect in 2026–27. The plan did not redraw middle- or high-school zones, so a changed elementary assignment does not automatically imply a different secondary cluster.
The transition rules are equally specific. Rising fifth-graders affected by the realignment could request to remain at their former elementary school; those requests were to be approved, but district transportation would not be supplied. Younger affected students did not receive the same blanket guarantee. Paulding’s current map must be read by both grade and effective year: a new elementary school and new K–5 boundaries sit inside the same five-high-school framework.
