Battle Ground Public Schools (BGPS) 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
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] However, the district currently recognizes 1909 as its year of inception and celebrated its centennial during the 2009–2010 school year.[4]

Your Battle Ground Public Schools publication
Starting in 2009, Battle Ground Public Schools ran a newspaper insert in The Reflector, called "Your Battle Ground Public Schools"[27] Following the retirement of Superintendent Shonny Bria in 2013,[32] Your Battle Ground Public Schools effectively ended and was widely forgotten. However, the publication was rediscovered in 2025 by Tukes Valley Middle School student, Rye Dilley, who collaborated with 12 other students and the district Communications Department to revive the old insert in the form of an independent student-build magazine.[33] Issue 001 was uploaded to the district's website in June 2025 and the newly-restored publication is expected to continue.
