Attendance zone and feeder schools
Look up any address in the division’s School Locator; the school’s own 2026-27 zone map (PDF) shows its boundary. Zones do not follow neighborhood or ZIP code lines, so check the address, not the area.
Where students go next: Most of the North Landing Elementary zone’s area lies in the Landstown Middle zone and part in the Princess Anne Middle zone, according to the division’s 2026-27 attendance zone maps, so the middle school depends on the street. Most of the zone’s area lies in the Kellam High zone and part in the Landstown High zone, so the high school depends on the street.
Families who want a different school can file an out-of-zone request.
