About Ullom Elementary

Ullom is a neighborhood grades K–5 school. Pre-K is also offered through CCSD, but placement is handled by the district’s Early Childhood Department rather than through kindergarten registration.

The school uses Dragons spirit, the phrase “Engaging All to Excellence!” and Dragon P.R.I.D.E. expectations. Staff listings include STEM, performing arts, music, physical education and library specialists, but families should confirm the current rotation.

The campus has a Family Engagement Center with its own page and calendar. Special education and GATE appear on staff listings, though staffing and services should be confirmed each year.

How families get in

Ullom is assigned by home address. Families should check the exact address through CCSD zoning and complete standard district enrollment.

Use the CCSD zoning lookup for a specific home address.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Ullom is the assigned school.
Out-of-zone enrollment, if offered, follows current CCSD School Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.
Pre-K families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest form. The Early Childhood Department makes placements and may offer the zoned school when a seat is available.

Before making a housing decision

Always re-check zoning for the exact address.
Transportation and out-of-zone placement are not guaranteed.
Capacity and program offerings can change.

Ullom is not listed as a district elementary magnet. Families seeking a STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet pathway should review the current CCSD magnet catalog.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Ullom attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
Your child would rather attend locally than commute to a magnet campus.
You plan to evaluate school culture, daily logistics and classroom feel before weighing clubs and activities.

Think twice when

You live outside the zone and are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet pathway.
A busy or potentially crowded elementary campus would not suit your family.

Visit the campus and confirm current capacity, specials, clubs, activities and classroom conditions before deciding.
