About Litchfield Elementary School District #79
Litchfield Elementary is a fast-growing PreK–8 district spread across several West Valley communities. Its school network contains more than one grade configuration, so the assigned campus determines whether a student remains in one K–8 setting or changes schools for the middle grades. Boundary maps and open-enrollment capacity carry unusual weight as new housing shifts enrollment among campuses.
Troy Gilbert Elementary opened as the district’s seventeenth school for 2026–27. Its arrival expanded the current network beyond the previous sixteen-campus count and created another assignment point in the western growth area.
A new campus can change nearby attendance assignments even when a household did not request it through open enrollment. Litchfield’s responsibility still ends after eighth grade, when students move to a separately governed high-school district.
