The district’s 2026-27 zone map for Walker shows a hatched area from the former North Fork zone that is now assigned to Walker.

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.
