How families get in

Admission is based on the student’s home address. Families should verify the exact address through CCSD zoning before enrolling or making a housing decision.

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

Pre-K placement

A Pre-K seat at Schorr is not guaranteed.
CCSD may offer placement at the zoned school when a seat is available.
Confirm current availability with CCSD and the school.

Zoning, capacity and program offerings can change. Recheck all requirements on official CCSD and school pages.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Schorr attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
Your child would benefit from staying local rather than commuting to a magnet hub.
You want to evaluate 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 busy or large-elementary-school environment would be a concern; visit to assess the current setting.

Out-of-zone access is not guaranteed. It depends on current CCSD Choice rules and campus capacity.
