Confirm before making plans

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Dean LaMar Allen attendance zone or plan to move into it.
You want a neighborhood elementary school rather than a commute to a magnet hub.
You want to evaluate school culture, logistics and classroom feel before considering clubs and activities.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet pathway.
A larger elementary-school environment or possible crowding would be a poor fit without an in-person visit.

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