Optional Areas


Certain areas of the San Diego Unified School District have been designated Optional Areas. Most Optional Areas are between two schools; a few are between three schools. If a student resides in one of these areas, he or she is considered a resident of the listed schools for that Optional Area only. The selected school remains the school of attendance for the duration of the student's attendance at that level (elementary, middle/junior, or senior high).

Optional Areas are shown in School Finder as a hyphenated list of the relevant schools. The School Finder results page must display one or more of the hyphenated names shown below for the address entered in order for an Optional Area to be applicable to your home address.
 
Please see Frequently Asked Questions on Optional Areas. Please also view Boundary maps to see the location of Optional Areas on each school's map. For instance, the Clay-Hardy Optional Area is shown on the both Clay map and the Hardy map.
 
Information specific to Mission Beach residents can be found under the link Information for Mission Beach residents.
 
Please see the School Directory for addresses and phone numbers of schools.
