School Boundary Locator – Northern Virginia

Every school district in Northern Virginia provides an online school locator and school boundary maps in PDF format. School locator tools identify schools that serve a particular address. If you need a more visual presentation of school district boundaries, use boundary maps provided by school districts.

A school locator is also called a “school boundary locator” or “school district boundary tool” depending on jurisdictions. Don’t get confused by them. They all provide similar services.
