About Ronnow Elementary

Ronnow is a neighborhood elementary school for grades K–5. Pre-K is also offered through CCSD, with placement handled centrally by the district’s Early Childhood Department.

How families get in

Ronnow is assigned by home address. Dual Language is a school program rather than a district magnet lottery.

Check the exact home address through the CCSD zoning lookup.
Families in the attendance zone register through standard CCSD enrollment.
Zoned families may opt in to Dual Language during registration, according to the school site.
Out-of-zone enrollment, if offered, follows district Choice rules and campus capacity.
Pre-K families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest form. The Early Childhood Department handles placement and may offer a seat at the zoned school when one is available.

Dual Language admission

Dual Language is not a district magnet seat.
Out-of-zone seats are not guaranteed.
Ask which grades and classrooms participate before registering.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Confirm current rules with CCSD and the school.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Ronnow zone and want your child to learn in English and Spanish.
Your family wants to strengthen Spanish at school or wants an English-speaking child to work toward bilingualism.
You prefer a neighborhood school with a Dual Language identity rather than commuting to a magnet campus.

Think twice when

You expect every classroom to be part of Dual Language without confirming how opt-in works.
You live outside the zone and are relying on an Open Enrollment seat.
You specifically want a district magnet program or magnet lottery seat.

Open Enrollment availability changes from year to year. Confirm the language model, participating classrooms and capacity for your child’s grade.
