Which school will my child attend? School boundaries, even for new schools, are set each new school year. To determine your child's home school refer to the online attendance map links below. Dysart Unified School District offers parents the opportunity to express their preference for any district school. Students can request an open enrollment application to any school in the district provided space is available.
