About Garfield School District
Garfield delivers one public preschool program across the Early Childhood Learning Center, public preschool annexes, and preschool classrooms at several elementary sites. The program serves three- and four-year-olds, with placement based on registration, proximity, and available space. The regular elementary network, by contrast, consists of seven K–5 schools. A preschool placement is not proof of the child’s later elementary assignment; kindergarten placement must be confirmed through the district’s registration process rather than assumed from the preschool location.
The seven elementary branches end together after grade five. Garfield Middle School serves grades six through eight, and Garfield High School serves the citywide cohort after that. Preschool is distributed across multiple delivery sites, elementary school is divided among seven attendance areas, and grade six produces the first complete citywide merger. The many preschool site names describe locations within one early-childhood program, not separate feeder systems.
