Attendance zone, feeder schools and the district’s proposal

Check any address with the district’s Find My School tool or the Dillard 6-12 zone map (PDF). About half of the high school zone’s area is in Fort Lauderdale; about 30% is in Lauderhill and 18% is unincorporated.

Comparing the district’s attendance boundaries:

  • Grades 6-8: Dillard’s own middle school zone matches the Dillard Elementary zone. Elsewhere in the high school zone, students go to Parkway Middle in Lauderhill (about 42% of the zone’s area), William Dandy Middle (27%) or Sunrise Middle (9%) before high school.
  • Elementary zones inside it: Thurgood Marshall (about 25%), Dillard (20%), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (15%) and Larkdale (14%), both in Lauderhill. About 12% was in the former North Fork Elementary zone.

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.

Proposal under review. At the School Board’s Oct. 6 workshop, the district’s Redefining Our Schools presentation (PDF) set out three options tied to William Dandy Middle: move Dandy’s students into Parkway Middle; move Dillard’s sixth to eighth graders into Parkway Middle, return Dillard to a 9-12 school and keep Dandy as a 6-8 school; or do both. The presentation records community concern about Dillard’s Title I status if the middle grades move and a call to keep Dillard open in the community. Nothing has been decided. The board’s final vote is set for Tuesday, Dec. 15, with families notified Dec. 16.
