LCSD Superintendent Frank Schofield said the district was looking to adjust the boundaries because of the rapid enrollment growth on the west side of the district as well as help transition Hillcrest to a Dual Language Immersion magnet school.

Schofield said the district wants to ensure maximizing the efficiency of physical resources, promote the safety of students and balance demographics of each school in the district.

“We’ve made a couple slight revisions to the boundaries to even some of the numbers as we looked at the grade level impact,” Schofield said. “As a result of that, all of our schools are projected to be at 80 percent and 94 percent of their open enrollment capacity.”

With the proposed adjustments, Schofield said the class size median in schools would go from about 24 to approximately 21 students in classrooms and most of the teachers would be able to stay in their current school.

Some of the schools with lower enrollment capacity percentage are expected to witness growth due to construction projects or DLI program enrollment.

  • Ellis Elementary School Dec. 1
  • Hillcrest Elementary School Dec. 2
