Boundaries and Bus information

School boundary assignments in the Sioux Falls School District are made according to the residence of the parent/guardian. The Sioux Falls School District provides transportation for eligible students in grades K-8. Eligible students must live in a designated bus area in order to receive transportation.

To determine which school a Sioux Falls School District student is eligible to attend or if they are eligible for transportation, enter the students address and grade in the Boundaries and Bus Mapping Tool.

Instructions for Boundaries and Bus Mapping Tool

Click the Street Address field and type the address of the student you want to examine. You can enter part of the street name if you are not sure of the spelling and want to select from a list of matching names. (You need to enter the entire house number.)
Click the Grade field by pressing the down-arrow or entering a grade. Scroll to the bottom of the list to choose All Grades. Kindergarten is grade KK, preschool grades are PA for preschool AM and PM for preschool PM.
Choose GO to have the system analyze your entries to find the address, then determine which school the student is eligible to attend. SCHOOL NAMES THAT INCLUDE THE WORDS PRESCHOOL, IMMERSION OR CLUSTER ARE NOT CHOICE SCHOOLS. THEY ARE PLACEMENT SITES.

Description types

"Eligible" indicates your address is within a busing area. You can click on the school code and another table appears with information on the school's stops.
"Within walk distance of school," indicates that your address is not eligible for transportation. However, if you click on the school code and view the table, some bus stops may appear. These are for specific special education students. They are NOT available stops for regular students.
"NA" indicates that you have chosen the All Grades button. Eligibility information is only accurate by choosing a specific grade request.
