About Ellis Elementary

Ellis is a neighborhood elementary school serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Assignment is based on the home address and the current CCSD attendance zone.

School life centers on literacy, math, science and social studies. PE, art, music and library or media are common CCSD elementary specials, but families should confirm the current schedule.

Clubs, activities, spirit programs and elementary athletics or intramurals may be offered. These are elementary activities, not middle-school NIAA varsity programs.

Ellis is not listed as a district STEM, IB, arts or STEAM magnet campus.

How families get in

Ellis is a zoned school. A student's home address must fall within the current attendance boundary unless an out-of-zone option is approved.

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

Confirm your zone

Attendance boundaries can change.
Check a specific address at https://ccsd.net/zoning before making a housing decision.

Open enrollment, zone variances and transportation are not guaranteed. Confirm current rules, capacity and transportation arrangements with CCSD.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Ellis attendance zone or plan to move there.
You want a neighborhood elementary school rather than a commute to a magnet hub.
You want to assess school 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 large-elementary environment or possible crowding would be a concern.

Fit depends on the individual student and current campus conditions. Visit if possible and confirm zoning, capacity and program offerings.
