How it works

One district, multiple attendance centers.

The district uses primary elementary schools, intermediate elementary schools, two middle schools and Edwardsville High School. Glen Carbon Elementary and Albert Cassens Elementary are physically in Glen Carbon; other attendance centers are distributed across the district.

Relocation rule: Never rely on a listing, neighborhood name or municipal boundary alone. Confirm current attendance assignment directly with District 7.
