Madison and Clairemont Cluster Attendance Area Revisions
APPROVED BY BOARD OF EDUCATION ON FEBRUARY 11, 2025 (Link to Board Documents).
What is being proposed?
The district is proposing revisions to the attendance areas of Holmes, Lafayette, and Sequoia Elementary schools, Innovation and Marston Middle schools, and Clairemont and Madison High schools for the 2025-26 school year.
A portion of the Holmes and Lafayette attendance areas would become part of the Sequoia Elementary attendance area. District policy is to revise boundaries at all levels to maintain feeder pattern continuity. As a result, the same portion of the Marston Middle and Clairemont High attendance areas would become part of the Innovation Middle and Madison High areas.
Why are these revisions being proposed?
Revisions are proposed because residential development is occurring that is expected to generate elementary enrollment exceeding Holmes’ facility capacity. Facility space will be needed for approximately 60 to 80 elementary age students. A new housing development on the northwest corner of Genesee Avenue and Balboa Avenue will be occupied during the 2025-26 school year.
To ensure space is available for future students, a portion of the Holmes attendance area that includes the new development would become part of the Sequoia Elementary attendance area, where adequate capacity is available in the new facility for additional enrollment.
Who is affected?
The new attendance areas would be in place for elementary, middle,
and high school students living in the changed area beginning in the
2025-26 school year.
No residents currently live in the areas proposed for change; there are only businesses.
Therefore, no current students at any schools are affected by the proposed revisions. Only future students are impacted.
Where is the area of proposed change?
Below is a map of the proposed revision.
The shaded green area is the proposed portion of Holmes Elementary attendance area that would change to Sequoia Elementary. The shaded green area would also change to Innovation Middle School and Madison High School beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
The shaded pink area is the proposed part of the Lafayette Elementary area that would change to Sequoia Elementary. There is no change in the middle or high school assignment for the shaded pink area.
