How do I find out which public school a Boca Raton address is zoned for?

Short answer

Public school assignment for a Boca Raton address is set by the School District of Palm Beach County's attendance zones, which you can check with the District's Find My Zoned School tool or its elementary, middle and high school attendance zone maps. Because zones are reviewed every year and some schools admit only by Choice application, confirm the assignment for the exact address and school year before relying on it.

Where can I look up an address?

The School District of Palm Beach County links a "Find My Zoned School" map tool from its enrollment pages. The same section posts a 2026-27 districtwide elementary attendance zone map, individual school attendance zone maps, and separate middle and high school attendance zone maps.

The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser offers a second check: open its Map Search, click the Layers tab, turn on the "School Zones" layer and select the parcel, and a legend lists the schools zoned for that property.[1][4]

Why isn't a ZIP code or mailing address enough?

The District draws its own attendance boundaries. Its GIS catalog explains that it uses Study Area Codes (SACs), small planning areas, to create school attendance boundaries, so the lines are the District's own and do not necessarily follow ZIP codes or city limits.

Some schools have no attendance area at all. The District notes that certain schools, and grades 6-8 at several K-8 schools including Addison Mizner School, admit students by Choice application rather than by address.[1][5]

Can the zoned school change after I buy?

Yes. The District's student enrollment office runs an annual attendance zone review. An Advisory Boundary Committee of appointed community volunteers reviews enrollment projections and proposals each year beginning in the spring and recommends changes to the Superintendent, and School Board members make the final decisions.

The District also runs an Address Fraud Tip Line (561-434-8477), a reminder that enrollment is tied to where a student actually lives. If a particular school assignment matters to your decision, check the tool for the specific address, note the school year it applies to, and contact the District's enrollment office with questions.[2][3]
