How families get in

Green Valley is primarily a zoned neighborhood school. Assignment depends on the attendance zone for a student’s exact home address.

Check the exact street address using the CCSD zoning lookup. A community name such as Green Valley is not enough.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Green Valley is the assigned school.
Out-of-zone enrollment or a zone variance, if offered, follows current district Choice rules and campus capacity.
IB, AP and High School of Business participation is arranged after enrollment through school counseling, not through the district magnet application for this campus.

Confirm before applying

Ask counseling how students enter the IB Diploma sequence and how underclassmen prepare.
Do not assume that an out-of-zone seat will be available.
Program names, pathway seats and campus capacity can change.

Zoning, Choice rules and capacity are not permanent. Confirm current requirements with CCSD and the school.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Green Valley attendance zone and want a large Henderson high school.
Your student wants AP, optional IB Diploma coursework, CTE, arts or athletics.
Your student wants rigorous college-prep options without applying to a district magnet lottery.
You prefer neighborhood-school logistics over a hub-style magnet commute.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment or a variance.
You specifically want CCSD’s district IB magnet pathway at Basic Academy.
A large-school environment or possible crowding would be a poor fit.

Visit if possible and ask about current class sizes, program capacity and pathway availability.
