Just where is the Dunlap School District boundary?

By far, this is the most confusing question for many people coming into the area, as well as many locals. Homes in the Dunlap School District can have a Dunlap address, a Peoria address, an Edwards address and even a few other options. Vice-versa, there are some homes with a Dunlap address that might very well be in the Chillicothe or Princeville school districts. One thing is certain...if a home is in the Dunlap School District now it will always be in the Dunlap School District. They might redistrict within the Dunlap schools-as far as which Dunlap school a home goes to-but this is kept to a very, very minimum amount of change, but it would never revert to a different school district other than Dunlap. We have three kids that go to all three levels of the school system, elementary, middle and high schools, and they have had a great experience at all of them. If you would like a map of the school boundary, just let us know and we would be happy to email you one.

Another interesting fact is that the majority of homes in the Dunlap school district actually lay within the city of Peoria boundaries. As the city boundaries have continued to grow north and south into other school districts and mailing zip codes, the school boundaries have not changed. Currently the city of Peoria reaches as far northward as the Augusta Estates subdivision, which is adjacent to Banner Elementary School along the northern reaches of Allen Road, and as far west as the Sommer Place and Water Stone Estates subdivisions, which both have an Edwards mailing address, just to the west of the Shoppes at Grand Prairie Mall.
