District boundaries

Andover USD 385 has traditionally been a closed enrollment district, but in 2024-25 the district opened its boundaries due to legislation.  We now open our boundaries to out-of-district students through an application process once a year. For the 2025-26 school year, the application is open from Jan. 1-June 15. Following the closing of the application process on June 15, the district will consider the number of vacant seats at each grade level throughout the district between June 15 - July 15. The district will then begin contacting parents with information regarding admission or denial into the district.

Students who live within district boundaries will be assigned a school based on their home address. View the district boundary map or visit this website to find out where you are located in the District. If you are unsure whether a home or land you are considering purchasing is within our district boundary, please call 316-218-4660 to verify. 

Open boundary/out-of-district information

Cottonwood, Robert Martin and Wheatland Elementary Schools move up to Andover Middle School and Andover High School. Meadowlark, Prairie Creek and Sunflower Elementary Schools move up to Andover Central Middle School and Andover Central High School.
