Attendance zone
Check an address with the district’s school lookup tool, which the district links from its lookup page. In the zone layers behind that tool, the Meeting Street Burns zone feeds Morningside Middle and Northwoods Middle and then North Charleston High; where a zone is split, the street address decides. We did not find a published feeder list on the district’s site, so these pairings come from the district’s own zone layers, from the 2025-26 school year.
