Croissant Park is one of the four schools that took in students from the former North Fork Elementary zone this year.

North Fork Elementary closed. On Jan. 21, 2026, the School Board consolidated North Fork Elementary into Croissant Park, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall and Walker elementaries for 2026-27, according to the district’s May 12 Redefining Our Schools update (PDF). Broward County’s boundary map data still draws the old North Fork zone, so the shares on this page treat it separately; the district’s 2026-27 zone maps and Find My School tool are the authority.
