• Blaine cluster

    The maps below show the elementary and middle schools in the Blaine cluster. The outlines represent the current attendance boundaries. The shaded spots represent the approved and formerly proposed attendance boundaries for 2019-20. Residents are able to add their address and determine attendance boundary areas by using the magnifying glass icon in the upper left hand portion of the Google map.

     

    These boundaries were approved by the School Board on Sept. 24, 2018, following seven months of community feedback and review. Board policy directs attedance boundaries that will remain unchanged for a minimum of five years at the elementary level and ten years at the middle school level.   

     

    At the elementary level, a little more than 1,200 students will be moved to new schools. The majority of movement will be Johnsville and University Avenue elementary school students moving to the new Blaine elementary school. Some students will also move from Madison, Jefferson and McKinley to the new Blaine elementary school, as well as McKinley and Jefferson to Johnsville, Eisenhower to Jefferson, and Eisenhower to University Avenue.

     

    At the middle school level, Northdale and Roosevelt middle schools will only feed Blaine High School. That means moving 500 students from Northdale to Coon Rapids Middle School, and about 300-450 students from Roosevelt to Northdale Middle School. Giving Northdale and Roosevelt middle schools a little room for the growth in Blaine. Listed below are the exact figures:

    • Proposal one would move 500 students from NMS to CRMS, and 372 students from RMS to NMS. 
    • APPROVED: Proposal two would move 500 students from NMS to CRMS, and 459 students from RMS to NMS. 
    • Proposal three would move 500 students from NMS to CRMS, and 327 students from RMS to NMS. 
    • Proposal four would move 500 students from NMS to CRMS, and 304 students from RMS to NMS.

    High school boundaries are not changing in the Blaine cluster. 
     

    There are some elementary schools that happen to be a part of both Blaine and Coon Rapids clusters, which means students from those schools are set to attend two different sets of high schools. For example, a portion of the students from Sand Creek will attend Blaine High School and a portion will attend Coon Rapids High School.
