South-Western Schools—officially known as South-Western City School District—is a public school district located southwest of Columbus. The district covers approximately 119 square miles and serves more than 21,000 students across urban, suburban, and rural areas.

The district includes all of the City of Grove City as well as portions of the City of Columbus and Franklin, Jackson, Pleasant, and Prairie townships. South-Western City School District is currently the fifth-largest public school district in Ohio and the second-largest in Franklin County.

For current information about enrollment, academic performance, staffing, and other district statistics, families can review the South-Western City Schools website and the district’s Ohio School Report Card.

South-Western City School District currently includes:

• 16 elementary schools serving grades K–4
• Five intermediate schools serving grades 5–6
• Five middle schools serving grades 7–8
• Four comprehensive high schools serving grades 9–12
• South-Western Career Academy for grades 11–12
• A special-needs preschool
• Additional specialized educational programs

The district’s four comprehensive high schools are:

• Central Crossing High School
• Franklin Heights High School
• Grove City High School
• Westland High School

Students attend schools according to residential attendance areas. The district provides an online School Viewer that allows families to enter a specific address and identify the elementary, intermediate, middle, and high schools associated with that location.

Some locations that appear to be within the general South-Western City School District boundaries may actually be part of Columbus City Schools. Buyers should verify the school district and assigned schools for a specific property using official district and county resources.

South-Western City Schools provides a range of academic programs and educational pathways across its grade levels.

Current opportunities include:

• College Credit Plus
• Advanced coursework
• Career and Technical Education
• Accelerated Learning Center
• Gifted education
• Fine and performing arts
• World language coursework
• College and career planning

South-Western Career Academy provides career-technical education for students in grades 11–12.

The district also operates the Accelerated Learning Center, a dual-credit high school program located at Central Crossing High School.

Through College Credit Plus, eligible students can earn high school and college credit through coursework provided in partnership with participating colleges and universities.

Courses, programs, eligibility requirements, and extracurricular offerings can change from year to year. Families should confirm current opportunities directly with South-Western City Schools.

South-Western City Schools enrolls new students through an online registration process coordinated by the district’s Student Welcome Center.

Families must reside within South-Western City School District boundaries to enroll. The district does not participate in inter-district open enrollment.

The district’s online School Viewer allows families to search by residential address and identify assigned schools. It also provides attendance-zone information for individual elementary, intermediate, middle, and high schools.

Because municipal boundaries, mailing addresses, and school district boundaries do not always correspond, buyers should verify both district residency and assigned schools for a specific property.
