I receive a lot of questions regarding Palo Alto’s schools, as they are often what attract people to this area. The Palo Alto School District makes it easy to find out what school is assigned to a particular address. Simply type in the address in their “school finder” at:

There is also a link that will take you to a colorful boundary map: http://www.pausd.palo-alto.ca.us/parents/schools_sites/downloads/AttendanceBoundaryMaps.pdf. Ultimately, though, it’s smart to check directly with the district for final confirmation in regards to school assignment, as it’s possible for enrollment at a particular school to be full. Also, sometimes the boundaries get changed to accomodate residential changes (for example, the hundreds of new residents who will be moving into the Arbor Real Development). Another useful link for parents is www.greatschools.net. This site allows you to search nationwide for information on schools, including their API scores.
