Battle Ground School District (BGSD) is a public school district in Clark County, Washington, United States. It serves the communities of Amboy, Battle Ground, Brush Prairie and Yacolt. The district headquarters are in Brush Prairie.[1]

As of the 2011–2012 school year, the district has an average enrollment of 12,318 full-time-equivalent students.[2]

History

[edit]

The district existed as early as 1870 as the Battle Ground School District and was eventually known as Central School District. The zone undertook the moniker of Battle Ground No. 85 when it combined with the district of Cherry Grove in 1914. A consolidation in 1955 with Glenwood, Washington led to the No. 119 designation and a further merger with Yacolt finalized the size of the Battle Ground district.[3]

The district includes almost all of Battle Ground. It also includes all of Brush Prairie, Cherry Grove, Dollars Corner, Lewisville, Meadow Glade, and Yacolt. Additionally, it includes most of Amboy, Mount Vista, and Venersborg, as well as parts of Duluth, Five Corners, Hockinson, Orchards, and Vancouver.[4]
