Feeder Pattern & Attendance Area

Public schools in Albemarle County are divided into three “feeder patterns” according to geographical area: Northern, Southern and Western. A feeder pattern consists of the elementary, middle and high schools through which students progress.

Journey Middle School is part of the Northern Feeder Pattern. Students previously attended Agnor-Hurt, Greer, Broadus Wood, or Woodbrook Elementary School, and will graduate from Albemarle High School.
