Attendance zone and feeder schools
Bowling Green Independent Schools serves the city school district, which covers much of the city but not all of it; parts of the city are in Warren County Public Schools, and district lines do not follow the city limits. To see which BGISD schools serve an address, search it in the district’s Transportation InfoFinder, which lists the schools and bus stops for that address. Our schools guide explains how to tell the two districts apart from a tax bill.
All five BGISD elementary schools send their students to Bowling Green Junior High for sixth grade; the district says sixth grade is when students from all five come together. The junior high feeds Bowling Green High School, the district’s only high school.
