Westerville Schools—officially known as Westerville City School District—is a public school district located northeast of Columbus in Franklin and Delaware counties. The district covers approximately 37 square miles and currently serves approximately 14,600 students.

Westerville City School District is currently the 11th-largest public school district in Ohio.

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

Westerville City School District currently includes:

• 15 elementary schools
• Five middle schools
• Three comprehensive high schools
• An Early Learning Center
• An Academic Enrichment Center

The district’s three comprehensive high schools are:

• Westerville Central High School
• Westerville North High School
• Westerville South High School

Students generally attend schools according to residential attendance areas. Westerville City Schools provides an interactive attendance-area map that allows families to search for schools associated with a particular home address.

The district notes that its boundary maps are provided for reference and recommends contacting the Enrollment Center to verify the school of attendance for a specific address.

Because municipal boundaries, mailing addresses, school district boundaries and individual school attendance areas do not necessarily correspond, buyers should verify both the school district and assigned schools for a specific property directly with Westerville City Schools.

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

Current opportunities include:

• Advanced Placement coursework
• International Baccalaureate programming
• College Credit Plus
• Elementary magnet programs
• Gifted education
• Career Pathways
• Career and technical education
• Credit Flexibility
• Fine and performing arts
• World language and global studies opportunities
• Alternative educational programs

The district currently operates two elementary magnet schools. Hanby Elementary offers a STEAM-focused magnet program, while Emerson Elementary offers a World Cultures and Fine Arts program using inquiry-based learning. Magnet programs are elective options for students in grades 1–5 and use a lottery process when applications exceed available seats.

At the secondary level, the district offers Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate coursework as well as College Credit Plus. Eligible students participating in College Credit Plus can earn both high school and college credit.

Westerville also offers Career Pathways in areas including Business Logistics, Engineering and Health, along with additional career-technical opportunities.

Courses, programs, eligibility requirements, magnet options and extracurricular offerings can change from year to year. Families should confirm current opportunities directly with Westerville City Schools.

Westerville City Schools provides online registration for new students through its Enrollment Center. A parent or legal guardian must reside within Westerville City School District boundaries for a student to enroll.

The district does not participate in inter-district open enrollment. Students residing within the district may apply for an intra-district transfer to a school other than their assigned school, subject to district policies, capacity and other requirements. Magnet schools have a separate application and lottery process.

The district’s interactive attendance-area map can help identify schools associated with a residential address. However, Westerville City Schools specifically recommends contacting its Enrollment Center to verify school assignments.
