Attendance boundaries and enrollment

Students usually attend the SUSD school assigned to their home address. Use the district's high school locator to look up an address, and always confirm boundaries with the district before you buy. A home near Desert Mountain is not guaranteed to be assigned to it, and listing data can be wrong.

Boundaries in this part of the district may change. SUSD's school repurposing plan includes a "Desert Mountain Learning Community," and the district has discussed options that would send some Copper Ridge School students to Desert Mountain or Chaparral after the 2026-27 school year. As of October 2026 the board had not taken a final vote, so check the district's latest decision.

SUSD says enrollment for the 2027-28 school year, both regular and open enrollment, opens November 2, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Regular enrollment needs proof of residency, a birth certificate and immunization records. Open enrollment lets students from outside SUSD, or from another SUSD attendance area, apply for a seat when there is room, following district priority rules. See SUSD open enrollment for details.
