Are schools one of the top factors in your Firestone move? You are not alone. Families often want clear steps to confirm which schools serve a specific address and how to explore other public, charter, or private options. In this guide, you will learn exactly where to look, how to verify details, and what to ask so you can feel confident about your school plan. Let’s dive in.
How Firestone public schools are organized
Firestone is served by St. Vrain Valley Schools, which also covers nearby communities. Start with the district’s main site for boundary, enrollment, transportation, and school calendars. You can find these essentials on the St. Vrain Valley Schools website.
Always verify school assignment by the exact street address, not just the town or ZIP. Attendance boundaries can cross city lines and may shift as the area grows. When in doubt, confirm with the district’s enrollment office.
Start with St. Vrain Valley Schools
Find your assigned schools by address
Use the district’s boundary map or address lookup to identify the assigned elementary, middle, and high school for your specific home. If you cannot find an automated tool, call or email the enrollment office. Registration information and required documents are explained on the St. Vrain Valley Schools site.
Open enrollment and school choice
If you are interested in a school outside your attendance area, review the district’s open enrollment or choice guidelines. Policies, deadlines, and seat availability can vary each year. Check current details with St. Vrain Valley Schools and ask the enrollment office about timelines and capacity.
Transportation and calendars
Bus eligibility and routes depend on your exact address and grade level. Review transportation rules and school calendars on St. Vrain Valley Schools. It is helpful to note pickup times, minimum days, and any schedule changes that affect after-school care.
Verify with state and federal profiles
Colorado SchoolView for official profiles
For performance and program information, use Colorado Department of Education SchoolView. SchoolView provides enrollment figures, accountability data, and program listings at the school and district level. It is a reliable way to confirm offerings such as preschool, English Learner services, and special education.
NCES for basic data
The federal database offers another layer of verification. Use the NCES School Search to view official identifiers, enrollment data, and school profiles.
Parent perspectives and reviews
Independent directories can help you gather community perspectives and practical tips. Explore GreatSchools and Niche for reviews and broader context. Use these sites for insights, but rely on district and state sources for official assignment and capacity.
Programs and services to check
Different programs matter to different families. As you research, confirm availability through district and school pages, then verify with state profiles when needed.
Key items to review:
- Grade-level assignments and feeder patterns
- Early childhood and preschool options
- Special education services and early intervention
- English Learner and bilingual supports
- Advanced coursework and gifted programs
- Career and Technical Education at the high school level
- Magnet, specialty, or themed schools, including charters

For each program, check the district’s descriptions, the individual school’s page, and relevant data on CDE SchoolView or NCES.
Charter and private school options
Charter schools within the district may follow different admissions processes, often through a lottery. The district lists authorized charters on St. Vrain Valley Schools. If a charter interests you, contact the school directly for application windows, waitlists, and deadlines.
Private schools operate independently of the district. To identify options and confirm details, use the NCES School Search and contact schools directly about admissions and openings.

To avoid address mismatches, verify the exact property details before you enroll. The Town of Firestone and Weld County provide parcel and mapping tools that are helpful for accuracy. Use the Town of Firestone site and Weld County resources to confirm parcel IDs and address formats.
