An elementary school will also be located in the following areas: in the northwest, north of Craig Road and west of Decatur Boulevard; in the east, west of Nellis Boulevard and east of Maryland Parkway; and in the southeast, south of Russell Road and east of Arroyo Grande Boulevard.

All of the elementary schools and the one middle school are scheduled to open for the 1999-2000 school year. The high school is scheduled to open for the 2000-2001 school year.
