The in-town school — closest to downtown, built around passion-based learning and environmental stewardship, and recently expanded. Home of the Eagles.
Crozet Elementary is a K–5 Albemarle County public school in the center of Crozet, Virginia, serving downtown and the streets closest to it. Its instructional emphasis is passion-based learning and environmental stewardship, and it recently expanded — absorbing more than 200 students reassigned from Brownsville to rebalance enrollment between the two schools.
That redistricting is the single most important fact on this page. If you are reading a zoning list published before it, that list is wrong. Every Crozet Elementary student goes on to Joseph T. Henley Middle School and then Western Albemarle High School, so this choice shapes the first six years and nothing after.
Crozet Elementary serves downtown Crozet and the streets nearest it, plus the areas reassigned in the recent redistricting. Because that boundary just moved, this is the zone most worth confirming address by address rather than assuming.
