2024 – 2025 School Year

For the 2024 -2025 school year, we will have grades 5-8.  We will not be accepting any new 5th graders.  This will be the home school for our residents in grades 6-8.  You may also apply for a transfer if this is not your home school.  You can check your address here.  The transfer window was open from December 1, 2023 - February 15, 2024.  You may still complete a transfer, but your transfer will be processed in the order it is received.

If this is not your home school for 6-8 AND you reside within the boundaries of La Mesa Spring Valley School District, please complete the intradistrict transfer form.  If you reside outside of the district boundaries, please complete the interdistrict transfer form.  Your home district must sign this form first before being submitted to our district office.  For more information regarding transfers, please see the district website for more information.

No more school tours will be offered this school year.
