How families get in

Cimarron-Memorial is primarily a zoned school. Eligibility depends on the attendance zone assigned to the student’s exact home address.

Look up the exact street address using the CCSD zoning tool. Neighborhood names are not reliable.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Cimarron-Memorial is the assigned school.
Out-of-zone admission, if offered, depends on current School Choice rules and campus capacity.
Do not assume that a non-zoned seat or variance will be available.

Before moving or enrolling

Verify the exact address at the official CCSD zoning site.
Ask the school about current capacity and pathway availability.

Zoning, capacity and School Choice rules can change. Confirm current requirements on official CCSD and school pages.
