Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Craig 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 classroom feel, culture, logistics, clubs and 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 busy or large-elementary environment would be a concern without first visiting the campus.

Fit depends on the individual child and the current campus environment. Visit when possible and confirm live programs, capacity and zoning.
