Most public elementary and middle school students attend their zoned school if they have one. Zoned schools enroll children who live near the school.

Zoning is based on home address. You can find your child’s zoned school by entering your address on the Find a School tool.

Find your zoned school with the Find a School tool.

Note: Always confirm your zoned school with the school. Zoning may change for the upcoming school year. The list is updated every July.

Contact the zoned school to:

  • Learn about the school
  • Enroll your child
  • Discuss options other than the zoned school

If you can’t resolve issues or get help from the zoned school, you can contact the school district for help. To find your school district, go to the School Districts page.
