  • Recheck zoning for a specific address before making a housing decision.

  • Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest form.
  • CCSD’s Early Childhood Department places students and may offer a seat at the zoned school when one is available.

Zoning, capacity and enrollment rules can change. Confirm current requirements on official CCSD and school pages.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

  • You live in the Sandra Thompson attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
  • Your child would benefit from staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.
  • You want to assess school culture, logistics, classroom feel and current 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-school environment would be a concern without first visiting the campus.

This is a zoned comprehensive elementary school, not a district elementary magnet. Open Enrollment is not guaranteed and depends on current rules and capacity.
