How families get in

Stanford Elementary is assigned by home address. Families should verify the attendance zone for their exact address before enrolling or making a housing decision.

Use the CCSD zoning lookup to confirm the assigned school for a specific address.
Register through standard CCSD enrollment for the zoned school.
Out-of-zone enrollment, if offered, follows current CCSD Choice rules and depends on campus capacity.
Pre-K is not assigned through kindergarten registration. Families complete the CCSD Pre-K interest form, and the Early Childhood Department handles placement.

Pre-K placement

A seat at the zoned school may be offered when one is available.
Confirm Pre-K availability and placement with CCSD.

Zoning, Choice access, capacity, and Pre-K availability can change. Admission and transportation are not guaranteed for an out-of-zone student.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Stanford 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 school culture, logistics, classroom feel, clubs, and activities in person.

Think twice when

You live outside the zone and are relying on open enrollment.
You specifically want a district STEM, IB, arts, or STEAM magnet pathway.
A busy or crowded elementary-school environment would be a concern without first visiting the campus.

Stanford is not listed as a district elementary magnet. Confirm current zoning, enrollment options, capacity, and program offerings on official school and CCSD pages.
