Boundary Book Lists Piper Among Broward’s High School Attendance Areas

Broward County Public Schools published its 2004-05 attendance-area boundary book this fall, the annual reference document that defines which neighborhoods feed into each of the district's elementary, middle and high school campuses. The book lists Piper High School in Sunrise as one of more than thirty traditional high school attendance areas across the county and details the streets, subdivisions and apartment complexes assigned to the school for the current school year.

The boundary book is produced by the district's Demographics and Enrollment Planning office and is used by the district, its transportation department, the school board, real-estate offices, and parents trying to confirm which campus a particular address feeds. Each high school section in the document includes a parcel-level map, an alphabetical street list and notations for any blocks that fall outside the standard catchment because of grandfather provisions, magnet-program participation or choice-transfer agreements.

For Piper, the 2004-05 catchment continues the central-Sunrise footprint the school has carried for most of its history, with adjustments from previous rezoning cycles still in effect. The attendance area pulls from a defined slice of Sunrise neighborhoods bounded loosely by major roadways the district uses as cleaner boundary edges, with several condominium and apartment complexes specifically called out by name in the address listings.

District-wide, this year's boundary book reflects the impact of recent capital projects and continued enrollment growth across western Broward. New schools opening over the past several cycles have led to multiple boundary adjustments at neighboring catchments, and several attendance areas in cities including Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Coral Springs have shifted in line with new construction phasing. The 2004-05 edition contains the boundary changes the school board approved during the spring 2004 redistricting cycle.

Families who believe their address is incorrectly listed, or who want to verify school assignment for a coming move, can confirm placement through the district's Boundary Book and the parallel online address-lookup tool. Students who attend a school outside their default attendance area through the district's reassignment, magnet or choice programs continue under the terms of those programs regardless of the boundary book's default assignment.
