Attendance boundaries and enrollment

PVSchools has two ways in. Families who live inside the school's boundary use traditional enrollment: fill out the district forms and register online. Families outside the boundary, or outside the district, can apply through open enrollment. Some groups get priority, and when a school or program is full, seats go to a waitlist or a lottery. Open enrollment students do not get district bus service.

The school lists Boulder Creek, Eagle Ridge and Sky Crossing as its elementary feeder schools. The district's "Locate a School" map on its enrollment page shows boundaries, which were redrawn for the 2024-25 school year. Always confirm boundaries with the district for the exact address. Buying a home near a school does not guarantee your child will be assigned to it, and boundaries can change.
