EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

In the 2022 U.S. News & World Report elementary and middle school rankings, all CFSD K-5 and 6-8 schools were recognized as high-achieving, soaring to the top 30% of overall scores.  Every CFSD elementary and middle school earned a gold badge, the highest level awarded. The study sorted through the data of more than 80,000 elementary and middle schools, resulting in a data set of K-8 public schools that includes information on student-to-teacher ratios, school size, and other important data.
More information on the rankings is available here.

OPEN ENROLLMENT

What is the District’s Open Enrollment Program?

Open enrollment is a state law that allows students to attend schools outside of their resident school if the receiving school has the capacity to accept them. CFSD residents who wish to attend a school other than their home area school must apply under the open enrollment program as well as non-resident families.
