Short answer: A property’s address can affect its K-8 district and assigned school, and a listing is not the final authority. Verify the exact address directly with the relevant district before relying on an assignment.

Local Context

Town names, postal addresses, and school attendance areas are not interchangeable. Capacity, transfers, and district policies can also affect enrollment. Keep a dated record of the district response and reconfirm before enrollment if time has passed.

What to Verify

Contact the Lafayette School District, Moraga School District, Orinda Union School District, and Acalanes Union High School District as applicable. Orinda’s official residency-verification page explains its documentation requirement.
