Coltrane-Webb STEM Elementary School Attendance Boundary Project
Cabarrus County Schools is undergoing the process of reviewing and adjusting elementary school attendance boundaries in preparation for the opening of the replacement Coltrane-Webb STEM Elementary School in the fall of 2026.
This realignment is necessary to ensure that student enrollment is balanced, facilities are utilized effectively, and families are best served by the new school. The process will include opportunities for community input and will be guided by the district’s commitment to maintaining equitable access to high-quality educational experiences for all students.
Please see below for a community "Question and Answer" feature where you can submit your questions to District leadership.
Questions may also be directed to realignment@cabarrus.k12.nc.us.

A.S. asked 12 days agoThanks for your question and your participation in our realignment project. Unlike the districtwide realignment during the 2023 school year, this attendance boundary project is only focused on a single area in close proximity to the new Coltrane-Webb STEM Elementary School, which is scheduled to open in August, 2026. The area of focus for this particular realignment can be found on slide 7 of this presentation: CWES Data Framing Presentation for BOE 10-6-25.pdf.
