• School Boundary Changes

    For New Schools

    Boundary changes are needed when a new school is built, to direct existing and future neighborhood students to balance projected enrollments.

    For Established Schools

    Boundary changes to existing schools are needed when school capacities and projected enrollment numbers are no longer balanced.  

     

    Boundary Changes For Fall 2023

    On December 12, 2022, the Board of Education approved the following boundary changes.  

    1.)  A permanent boundary change from the current Overflow area of Mountain Vista to Aspen Crossing.     
     
    In June 2019, before residents moved into the area, an Overflow boundary to Aspen Crossing from Mountain Vista was implemented.  The students from this area have been attending Aspen Crossing since moving into the area.  This change will not impact any current student's school assignment.
     

     

     
    2.)   Boundary change from Mountain Vista to Dakota Valley Elementary.  (East Quincy Highlands area)
     
    By 2024, the boundary for Mountain Vista needs a change.   Additional residential development in the area (outlined in yellow below) will increase the enrollment at Mountain Vista beyond the building capacity.   The development includes 665 new residences that could produce 140 elementary students, 70 middle school students and 70 high school students.   New families from this development are projected to start to move into the area during the 2024-25 SY.

    Multiple solutions were considered:

    A)  Reassign elementary students south of the new development area to Antelope Ridge Elementary. (165 students live in this area)

    B)  Reassign elementary students west of Mountain Vista to Aspen Crossing Elementary. (45 students live in this area)

    C)  Reassign elementary students north of Quincy Ave to Dakota Valley Elementary. (135 students live in this area)

    MapDescription automatically generated The new boundaries will be implemented for the 2023-24 SY.

                • 2023-24 SY: All new students moving into the area will be assigned to Dakota Valley.
                • 2023-24 SY: Students entering PreK & KG will be assigned to Dakota Valley.
                • 2024-25 SY: Students entering 2nd & 3rd grade will be assigned to Dakota Valley.  Families may request in January 2024, to remain at Mountain Vista on School Choice transfer.
                • Bus service will be provided to Mountain Vista through the 2024-25 SY.
              • Younger siblings and current students can submit Choice transfers to attend / stay at Mountain Vista. However, bus transportation will only be provided through the 2024-25 SY.
              •  
              • All current Mountain Vista students in the area north of Quincy Ave can request to transfer to Dakota Valley earlier than reassigned. 
              •  
              • Bus transportation will be provided to Dakota Valley according to District Policy EEA starting in 2023-24 SY. 

     

    3.)  Sunrise Elementary area students will be assigned to the Smoky Hill HS feeder area.  

    During the 2018-19 SY, the boundary for Eaglecrest HS was adjusted and students in the Summit & Arrowhead Elementary areas were re-assigned from Eaglecrest HS to Smoky Hill HS.  At that time, it was suggested that the Sunrise Elementary area also be re-assigned to Smoky Hill to provide further relief to Eaglecrest.

    This boundary change will have no impact on the middle school assignment.  All students at Horizon Community MS will unite into the Smoky Hill HS feeder area and no longer be split into different high schools.   This boundary change consolidates the bus service provided in the area. 

    New students moving into the area will be assigned to Smoky Hill HS for 23-24 SY.  

        Current 9-12th graders from the Sunrise area who are attending Eaglecrest HS (during the 22-23 SY) will remain and receive bus service* through the 2025-26 SY.

        Current 8th graders from the Sunrise area enrolled in CCSD will be assigned to Eaglecrest HS with bus service* through 2025-26 SY.

        Younger students from the Sunrise area will be assigned to Smoky Hill HS for 9th grade and may apply to go to Eaglecrest HS on a ChoiceTransfer.  No bus service will be guaranteed, but parents can apply for Space Available seats through the 2025-26 SY.

    Bus service* will be provided for students attending Smoky Hill HS. 

    *District Policy EEA: The District shall furnish transportation to all elementary school students (KG-5th) who live beyond a 1 mile walking distance from their assigned school, to all middle school students (6-8th) who live beyond a 1½ mile walking distance from their assigned school, and to all high school students (9-12th) who live beyond a 2 mile walking distance from their assigned school.
