Option J Opt J would split the Beaufort ES attendance area down the middle of Ribaut Road and the Port Royal ES attendance area down the middle of Ribaut Road, sending all high school students living on the east side of the split to Beaufort High, and all students on the west side to Battery Creek High school.
