The Schools District 6 Families Depend On
District 6 is scattered fragments on the map — its families are zoned across multiple schools, and the lines move. Here are the schools our community lives with every day, and what the record shows about each.
Cane Bay Elementary
ElementaryOpened 2009 — overcrowding was so immediate that 5th graders were taught in portables from day one. The district has since approved enrollment caps here.
Cane Bay Middle
Middle (grades 5–8)Opened 2012, built to hold grades 5 through 8 — pulling 5th graders out of elementary early, a structure most of the country doesn’t use. Also under district enrollment caps.
Cane Bay High
High SchoolAnchor of the fast-growing Cane Bay feeder pattern — growth pressure flows uphill from the packed elementary and middle schools.
Whitesville Elementary
ElementaryServes families in the Whitesville area and absorbs overflow from Cane Bay growth. The campus experiences flooding — infrastructure that hasn’t kept pace with growth.
Nexton Elementary
ElementaryPart of the Cane Bay-area feeder pattern, opened to relieve growth pressure in the corridor.
Foxbank Elementary
ElementaryOne of the schools District 6 families have been zoned to as lines have shifted — LaKyshia was a Foxbank guardian without ever changing her address.
Berkeley Elementary
ElementaryServes the Pinopolis-area sliver of District 6 — one of the scattered fragments that make up this seat.
What the record shows
The district has approved enrollment caps at Cane Bay schools, and is planning new schools and redistricting to address overcrowding — public confirmation that growth has outpaced capacity in this corridor. That is exactly the problem LaKyshia is running to plan for, before the next rooftops go up.
Has your family lived the lines?
Rezoned without moving? Kids in portables? A bus ride that doubled? LaKyshia is collecting District 6 school stories — because the board should hear from families before decisions are made, not after.
