School Boundary Attendance Area Change for the New P-8 School in Region 3
School Boundary Attendance Area Change for the New P-8 School in Region 3
In January 2021, the APS Board of Education approved closing and repurposing Sixth Avenue Elementary School for alternative use by the end of the 2022-23 school year. The Board also approved building a new school for students in preschool through 8th grade near Sixth Avenue, which will open for the 2023-24 school year. You can read the announcement from January 2021 here.
As part of the process for establishing an attendance boundary for the new P-8 school located in Region 3 (at the former Lyn Knoll site), APS formed an internal school boundary change committee. This committee assessed the attendance areas and enrollment capacities for schools in the surrounding area while taking into account the closure of Sixth Avenue Elementary School by the end of the 2022-23 school year. If your child currently attends Sixth Avenue, this process will determine where your child will attend school in future years. If your child attends Vaughn, Aurora Hills, East or North, the boundary process may impact the school’s enrollment.
