Feeder schools. In the district’s Find My School zones, the Rising Starr Middle zone and the Starr’s Mill zone are the same, so Rising Starr Middle is the one middle school that feeds Starr’s Mill. Three elementary zones feed Rising Starr: all of Braelinn Elementary and Oak Grove Elementary, and 1,596 of the 2,800 residential addresses in the Peeples Elementary zone; the rest of the Peeples zone goes to Whitewater Middle and Whitewater High. The district does not publish a separate feeder list; this comes from matching Fayette County’s residential address points to the district’s zone maps.

In Peachtree City, 4,396 of the city’s 14,489 residential addresses are zoned for Starr’s Mill: every address in the Braelinn village, 6% of Aberdeen and 1% of Glenloch. The zone takes in about 1,700 more addresses outside the city, in unincorporated Fayette County.
