About Wengert Elementary

Wengert serves grades K–5 and also offers Pre-K through CCSD. Pre-K placement is handled centrally by CCSD’s Early Childhood Department, and a seat at the zoned school depends on availability.

School life centers on core elementary academics, grade-level activities, clubs and elementary athletics or intramurals when offered. The campus is not listed as a district STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet.

A replacement campus opened on the original Winterwood Boulevard site for 2026–27. Families should ask what changed for classrooms, play areas and drop-off.

A good match when

You live in the Wengert attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
