Applications

We now require parents and/or guardians to create a Beaufort County School District Family Dashboard account in order to submit applications. Navigate to the online applications page on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. If this is your first visit to the Family Dashboard, you must create an account. Click, create account, and follow the prompt to get started. If you already have an account, login with your email address and password.

If you do not have access to the internet, computer, tablet, or smartphone, you may visit any District school to apply, or email our Student Services department.

Applications for School Choice will be available March 1, 2025. The deadline to apply is April 11, 2025.

If your school choice application has been accepted, you will be notified by email by May 16, 2025. If your school choice application was denied, you may appeal. Email Dr. Juliet White, Student Services Officer, at SchoolChoiceRequests@beaufort.k12.sc.us, by May 30, 2025. An appeal decision will be made with 10 business days.

In–School Choice Program is a program offered to students who live in the zone for the school. In-school choice students do not have to fill out a school choice application. 

Out–of–Zone students may apply to a choice program at any school, with the exception of an in–school choice program, as this option is only offered to students who live in the zone for the school. 

This year, there are only four schools that are at or above capacity and do not have availability for students outside the attendance zone to apply for school choice, Okatie Elementary School, Robert Smalls Leadership Academy, Pritchardville Elementary School, and River Ridge Academy (Grades 6-8).
