Many districts have "district maps" on their web sites. The auditor's office will also have information on what school district you are in: go to www.co.franklin.oh.us/auditor/ then click on Property Maps on the right. At the bottom, Search by: ADDRESS, type in your address. When the map and info page comes up, click on Parcel Info. A smaller window will pop up and on that is the property information -- the middle right side of the window will have "school name" and the district is listed there. (If you're apartment listing, I think it'll still work, if not, use the map option, find your apartment complex on the map, click that and then select Parcel Info for the information.)

If you're 43230, that also could be Westerville schools. A good resource would be your neighbors who have kids -- just ask! ;-)

Please don't take this the wrong way, but what you find out now could still change by the time your daughter reaches school age...Districts have been known to change attendance boundaries, and sometimes people who buy homes on one street, expecting their children to go to the same school as the kids on the next block, may be surprised.
Your best bet is to call the "suspected" school district, in this case Columbus Public Schools, and give them your exact street address, to find out if it's in their attendance zone, and if so, what specific school your child would attend. You don't have to give them your name or other identifying information right now. (It's just like if you were a prospective real estate buyer.)
