North Port is divided into 5 districts. Understanding the districts helps when researching which school zone a property falls in. With the opening of Wellen Park High School, school zone boundaries are being redrawn for the 2026–27 school year.
Verify your school zone
Boundaries are changing for 2026–27 due to Wellen Park High School opening.
If you are researching a specific property, contact Sarasota County Schools directly to confirm which school zone applies — especially for high school, as the Wellen Park attendance boundary affects parts of North Port that previously fed into North Port High. Visit sarasotacountyschools.net or call the district for zone verification.
