During the 2000-01 school year, planning units were the building blocks used to create neighborhood school attendance boundaries. The 2000 dataset contained 216 planning units. During the 2016 high school boundary process, some planning units had a disproportionate number of students thus limiting the flexibility in potential boundary changes. As APS prepared for additional boundary proposals at the elementary and middle school levels, external consultants recommended splitting units with large number of student populations. The result was a 2017 dataset with 130 additional planning units for a total of 346 planning units. In 2019, one planning unit was split to accommodate new housing along Columbia Pike. The split captured Gilliam Place, an apartment elevator complex with 173 committed affordable housing units. The 2019 dataset was the last modification, and the district now has 347 planning units.
