City Springs Elementary/ Middle School

Neighborhood/Enrollment Zone

City Springs Elementary/Middle serves its neighborhood zone (21231) which includes the Jonestown, Little Italy, and Inner Harbor neighborhoods. Any child living or moving into the neighborhood may enroll at any time, without participating in a lottery. If you live in this zone, call or email the school to enroll.

If you live out of the zone, you can still apply to enroll your child at City Springs. If there are no vacancies at the time, students can be added to a waitlist or upcoming lottery.

Charter Status

City Springs Elementary/Middle converted to a neighborhood charter school in 2005. During its last renewal in 2024, the Board of School Commissioners approved to renew City Springs’ charter for five years. The current contract runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.

What’s after City Springs?

High schools are not zoned by home address like elementary schools are in Baltimore City, therefore students go through the High School Choice process in January of their eighth grade year. Students who have attended City Springs have gone to high schools in the surrounding area such as Paul Laurence Dunbar, Patterson High School, and Digital Harbor. The school choice liaison at City Springs will help guide families through this process.
