Key takeaways
- Glynn County Schools has proposed new elementary, middle and high school attendance zones, targeted for fall 2027.
- As of early October 2026, the Board of Education has not taken a final vote and no vote date has been set.
- Check both the current and proposed zone maps for any home you’re considering, and confirm with the district.
Why is Glynn County redrawing school zones?
The district has cited population growth in north Glynn County and the opening of the new Glyndale Elementary, built off Golden Isles Parkway, as reasons to rebalance attendance zones. The stated goal is for students to attend schools closer to home. Superintendent Scott Spence presented the final proposal at a Board of Education work session on March 6, 2025.
What changes are proposed?
- The line between Glynn Academy and Brunswick High School would shift in parts of the city, from L Street to 4th Street.
- Some areas north of I-95 would be reassigned.
- Areas west of Highway 341 would move to Risley Middle School to relieve crowding at Jane Macon Middle School.
- St. Simons Elementary would serve students south of Gloucester Street.
When would the new zones take effect?
The plan targets fall 2027, when the new Glyndale Elementary is expected to open. The board said it might take up to two years to decide so changes can be phased in. When I called the Glynn County Superintendent’s office in early October 2026, they confirmed the board has not taken a final vote on the proposed map and has not set a date for one.
How can I check a specific address?
The district’s 2027 Proposed Rezoning page shows the current and proposed maps side by side, with an address lookup and a public feedback form. For any home you’re serious about, I’ll look up the address on both maps so you know where it falls today and where it could fall under the new plan.
