How families get in

Leavitt is a zoned school rather than a district magnet lottery school. Neighborhood assignment is based on the attendance zone for the student’s home address.

Check the exact home address using the CCSD zoning lookup.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment if Leavitt is the assigned school.
Out-of-zone access, if offered, follows current School Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.

Important distinction

Leavitt has a school-wide STEM identity for zoned students.
It is not currently listed as a CCSD district Magnet School.
Lied STEM Academy and Guinn STEM Academy use separate magnet-seat pathways.

Zoning, School Choice rules, transportation, and campus capacity can change. Confirm current details on official CCSD pages.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Leavitt zone and want a neighborhood middle school with a strong STEM identity.
Your student is interested in robotics, aerospace, 3D printing, or computer science without needing a separate district magnet application.
You prefer a local school over commuting to a full STEM magnet campus.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district magnet STEM seat with a specialized application pathway.
A busy, large-middle-school environment would be a poor fit for your student.

Visit if possible and ask about campus culture, crowding, elective access, and current capacity.
