Our Insights

This middle school has at least one zoned program, which is open to students in the local community. To see if your address is zoned for this school use our Middle School Guided Search.

If this is your zoned school, you may want to consider applying here because its close to home and you will be guaranteed a seat. You may also consider applying to other programs at this school that are unzoned. They may include a dual language program, or a program specializing in the performing arts or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Some art programs may require auditions.

Even in districts where most students attend their zoned school, you have other options. Use our Middle School Guided Search to discover them.
