The Washington County School District is proposing a boundary change between Desert Canyons Elementary, Bloomington Elementary, Little Valley Elementary, and South Mesa Elementary. Proposed Boundary Changes:
Desert Color Area:
Students living in the Desert Color area south of the Southern Parkway to the Arizona border, and east of I-15 to the River Road on/off-ramp—would attend Bloomington Elementary School beginning in August 2026.
Southern View and South Desert Neighborhoods:
Students residing in the Southern View and South Desert neighborhoods in the area between Lansky Drive and Weehawken Lane on the west and Hamilton Drive on the east, extending south to the Southern Parkway—would attend Little Valley Elementary School beginning in August 2026.
Undeveloped Area East of Hamilton Drive:
The undeveloped area east of Hamilton Drive, north of the Southern Parkway to 4150 South, and west of Desert Canyons Parkway and the airport, is currently zoned for Desert Canyons Elementary, and Little Valley Elementary. The proposal would rezone this area to Little Valley Elementary School beginning in August 2026.
