Schools are assigned according to your residential address within our district boundaries.
Use our address lookup system to locate the schools serving your address.
The only exception to the Assigned Neighborhood Schools policy is for high school students. They choose which high school to attend when they enroll for the first time. High School students may elect to change schools during a specific Open Enrollment Period each year.
** Please be aware: If you live in the new Mirasol Apartments, there is a bug in our system. It may incorrectly say your assigned school is Calavera Hills Elementary, however it actually is Hope Elementary. Please take your paperwork to Hope Elementary at 3010 Tamarack Ave, Carlsbad (760-331-5900). Sorry for the inconvenience. **
An intradistrict transfer is required for students who want to attend a CUSD school other than their residence school. Students must be pre-enrolled in order to submit this request. Please complete the pre-enrollment process online and contact your residence school for the next steps.
