Identify the district.
District boundaries can cross city and neighborhood names. Start with the exact property address or parcel.
West Petaluma + Country · School finder
Find schools by address.
Country addresses do not reliably follow the nearest city school. Use the parcel record to identify the school district, check the district’s current boundary information and confirm directly before relying on an assignment.
How to check
Three steps, in order.
Use the official finder.
Check the district’s current boundary map or lookup and note any school-of-choice or charter exceptions.
Confirm directly.
Ask the district to verify assignment, enrollment rules, program availability and any planned boundary change.
