Elementary Attendance Area Rebalancing (San Diego)

Birney, Garfield, and Jefferson Elementary Schools in the 2023-24 school year

APPROVED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION ON JANUARY 24, 2023 (Link to Board Documents).

 

What is being proposed?

Attendance boundary revisions are proposed for Birney, Garfield, and Jefferson Elementary schools in the 2023-24 school year.  Some of Birney’s attendance area near its edges will be reassigned to Garfield or Jefferson. The middle or high school assignment will not change. Students remain in Roosevelt Middle and San Diego High.

You may participate in this process by responding to the Survey linked at the bottom of this page. You may also view a one-page informational flier in English and Spanish.

 

Who is affected?

New students beginning in Fall 2023 will be subject to the revised attendance areas.

Current students at either school are not required to change schools.

Future students/siblings of current Birney students who live in the area of change may attend Birney under the “legacy” policy, as long as the older sibling is still at Birney at the same time.

 

Why are these revisions being proposed?

These changes are necessary to rebalance the number of elementary age students living in each school’s area. Birney has more students living in its attendance area as live in surrounding schools.  The proposed changes will result in more balanced student populations between school campuses.
