Public Education System

Registering a child for a K-12 public school in Greenville,, involves a few key steps. Parents must first verify their child’s eligibility by providing proof of residency within the school district. The registration process typically includes completing an online application, submitting necessary documents like the child’s birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency, and, if applicable, previous school records. It’s important to register early, as school assignments are often based on zoned areas, and some schools may have limited capacity. Additionally, parents should check the Greenville County Schools website for specific deadlines and requirements.
