How families get in

Priest is a zoned school. Families should verify their exact home address through the CCSD zoning lookup before enrolling or making a housing decision.

Use the CCSD zoning lookup to confirm whether an address is assigned to Priest.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment for the assigned zoned school.
Out-of-zone options, if offered, follow current CCSD School Choice rules and depend on campus capacity.
Pre-K is not assigned through kindergarten registration. Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest process, and the Early Childhood Department handles placement.

Pre-K placement

CCSD may offer a seat at the zoned school when one is available.
Confirm current availability and placement procedures with CCSD and the school.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Transportation and out-of-zone access are not guaranteed.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Priest attendance zone or expect to move there.
You want a neighborhood elementary school rather than a commute to a magnet hub.
You plan to evaluate school culture, logistics, classroom feel, 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 potentially crowded elementary campus would not suit your family without first checking conditions in person.

Fit depends on the current attendance zone, capacity, classroom experience and available activities. Confirm these directly with the school.
