How families get in

Beatty is a zoned school. A student’s home address determines the assigned campus.

  • Check the exact home address with the CCSD zoning lookup.
  • Register through standard CCSD enrollment for the assigned zoned school.
  • Out-of-zone enrollment, if offered, follows current district Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.

Before making a housing decision

  • Always check zoning for the specific street address.
  • Attendance boundaries and capacity can change.

Out-of-zone placement is not guaranteed. Confirm current rules through CCSD and the school.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

  • You live in the Beatty attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
  • Your child would prefer staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.
  • You want to assess school culture, daily logistics, classroom feel and current activities during a visit.

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 would be a concern without first visiting the campus.

Zoning, capacity, staffing and program offerings can change. Confirm current details before deciding.
