What is an elementary region school zone?

All residential addresses are zoned to one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school except for those addresses which are zoned to an elementary region school zone. These addresses are zoned for any one of three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.

Students residing in Region 1, Region 2, or Region 3 are assigned to any one of the three schools.

• Region 1:
• Bentley Elementary
• Idyllwilde Elementary Future Ready Academy
• Wilson Elementary

• Region 2:
• Bentley Elementary
• Crystal Lake Elementary
• Wicklow Elementary Magnet School for Global Pathways

• Region 3:
• Hamilton Elementary School of Engineering & Technology
• Midway Elementary School of the Arts
• Pine Crest Magnet School of Innovation

• Families in these school zones must apply and receive a school assignment before they can enroll their student at a school.

• Parents/Guardians designate by rank order their preference for their student among the schools located within the region.

• Transportation is provided to all students who live more than 2 miles from their assigned school.

• There is a sibling link for students to attend the same Elementary Region School that his/her sibling currently attends and will continue to attend.
• The new/incoming student is required to submit an application during the on time application period (January 1 - March 1).
• Current students do not need to re-apply.

• An Elementary Magnet application seat placement will result in the withdrawal of an Elementary Region School Zone application. 

How to apply for an elementary region school zone assignment:

Wait Pool Management:

• Families assigned to their second or third choice school will remain in a wait pool for their first choice school.

• Parents/Guardians must enroll their child at the assigned school in order to remain in the wait pool for their first choice school.
• Once the school year begins, a student must be in attendance at the assigned school in order to remain in the wait pool for their first choice school.
• On-time applicants are placed prior to late applicants, as practicable.
• Wait pools are maintained for one school year.
• Families must reapply, beginning in January, to be eligible for a new school assignment the following year.
• Families that are satisfied with their school assignment do not need to reapply in subsequent years.

Note:  An Elementary Magnet application seat placement will result in the withdrawal of an Elementary Region School Zone application.
