There is a total of 13 middle schools. Middle schools do not have attendance areas, but there is an elementary-to-middle feeder system. There is no guarantee that a student will be assigned to his/her feeder middle school or any particular middle school.

There are 15 high schools. High schools do not have attendance areas nor a feeder school system. There is no guarantee that a student will be assigned to any particular high school. There are additional application requirements for Lowell and Ruth Asawa.
