Attendance zone and feeder schools
Collierville Schools serves the town, and the district’s zones decide which school a student attends. Check the exact address in the school zone locator, which shows the zoned elementary, middle and high school; the School Zone Locator page also has the elementary, middle and high school zone maps. The district asks families to confirm the result with the school.
The district does not publish a feeder list, but its elementary and middle school zone maps show where each zone leads. The maps split the Tara Oaks zone. Its western part, north of White Road, falls in the West Collierville Middle zone; the eastern part along Collierville-Arlington Road and the part south of White Road fall in the Collierville Middle zone. Both feed Collierville High. Families should check their address in the locator.
We found no rezoning approved by the Collierville Board of Education that changes this school’s zone.
