Optional Areas
Certain areas of the San Diego Unified School District have been
designated Optional Areas between multiple schools. If a student resides
in one of these areas, he or she is considered a resident of the listed
schools for that Optional Area only. The selected school remains the school of attendance for the duration
of the student's attendance at that level (elementary, middle, or high).
Students are not permitted to switch between the schools otherwise.
Optional Areas are shown in
School Finder
as a hyphenated list of the relevant schools. The School Finder results
page must display one or more of the hyphenated names shown below for
the address entered in order for an Optional Area to be applicable to
your home address. Optional Areas are reviewed annually and subject to
change. Please see
Frequently Asked Questions on Optional Areas.
Shared Boundaries
Farb and DePortola middle schools share an attendance area. Both
schools serve grades 6-8. Please contact either school or the
Neighborhood Schools and Enrollment Options office for more information.
Dana and Correia middle schools share an attendance area. However,
the grade ranges do not overlap. Dana serves 5-6 and Correia serves 7-8.
Also, the Grant UTK-8 attendance area overlaps with the
Dana/Correia-Roosevelt optional area - thus, students residing in this
area have multiple options for middle level grades (5-8).
