Your "school of residence" or "neighborhood school" is the school that you are zoned for based on your home address. To find your neighborhood school, follow the steps below by clicking on the headlines for more information.

Click on the headlines below for more information:

  • Step 1: Determine your District of Residence
    • Use the Sonoma County District & Elected Official Lookup.
    • If you see "Petaluma City School District" that means Petaluma City Schools (PCS) is your District of Residence for grades TK-6.
    • If you see "Petaluma Joint Union High School District" that means PCS is your District of Residence for grades 7-12.
    • If you see both listed, that means PCS is your District of Residence for grades TK-12.
      If you don't see either listed, that means you will need an interdistrict transfer to attend a PCS school since you live outside the PCS boundaries.

  • Step 2: Determine your School of Residence

    If PCS is your District of Residence, you will next need to determine your School of Residence. Use one of the following methods depending on what grade your student will be in.

    1. For elementary school (grades TK-6), please use the Elementary School Finder. Type in your address and select your grade. You should see a box that says, "This is your neighborhood school" as shown below. If you do not see that box, the finder is indicating that you do not live in the PCS Elementary District.
