Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Kelly attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
Your student prefers staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.
You want to assess culture, logistics and classroom feel before considering clubs and activities.

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 not suit your student; visit to assess the current campus feel.

Fit depends on the individual student. Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change.
