Where it is

On the city’s map, Harrisburg sits between downtown and Summerville, with Crawford Avenue, Broad Street and Walton Way among its main streets and the Augusta Canal forming part of the historic district’s boundary. About 97% of it is in ZIP code 30904 and the rest in 30901. The National Park Service describes the historic district as roughly bounded by 15th Street, Walton Way, Heard Avenue, Milledge Road and the canal. A small corner of the neighborhood falls inside the city’s Summerville local historic district.

Schools

Harrisburg is in the Richmond County School System, and zone lines cut through it at every level. Shares are of sample points checked in the district’s zone locator on Oct. 6; scores are 2025 College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) figures.

A few sample points on the western edge returned Lake Forest Hills Elementary and Westside High. Langford-Tutt Middle is the name the district’s locator now uses for the school at 495 Boy Scout Road; the state’s 2025 report lists Tutt Middle School at that address, which is the score shown. More in our schools guide.
