How families get in

Enrollment is primarily based on the student’s home address and the current CCSD attendance zone.

Check the exact home address with the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Perkins is the assigned zoned school.
Out-of-zone enrollment, if offered, depends on current School Choice rules and campus capacity.
Pre-K families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest process rather than registering through kindergarten enrollment.

Pre-K placement

CCSD’s Early Childhood Department places Pre-K students.
A seat at the zoned school may be offered when one is available.
Confirm current availability directly with CCSD and the school.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Admission and transportation are not guaranteed for an out-of-zone student.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

Families living in, or moving into, the Perkins attendance zone.
Families seeking a neighborhood elementary school rather than a magnet commute.
Families who want to evaluate culture, logistics, classroom feel and current activities during a visit.

Think twice when

Families outside the zone who are relying on open enrollment.
Families specifically seeking a district STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet pathway.
Families concerned about a larger elementary-school environment without first visiting the campus.

Recheck zoning for the exact address before making a housing decision. Out-of-zone access depends on current district rules and capacity.
