Who it tends to fit

A good match when

Your household is in the Faiss attendance zone and wants a neighborhood middle school.
Your student prefers staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district STEM, IB or arts magnet pathway.
A large-enrollment campus would not suit your student. Visit and confirm the current environment.
