Pimlico Elementary / Middle School is a neighborhood charter school operated by the Baltimore Curriculum Project. Like all charter schools in Maryland, our school is tuition-free and non-sectarian. As a neighborhood conversion charter, our priority is to first serve students living in our neighborhood enrollment zone.
Who Can Enroll?
Elementary and middle school students from the surrounding neighborhoods. Any kindergarten through 8th grade child living or moving into the neighborhood may enroll at any time, without participating in a lottery.
A few neighborhood elementary schools are “feeder” schools for nearby schools with middle grades. This means that 5th-grade students at the neighborhood elementary school are automatically enrolled in a nearby school for 6th grade. Students zoned for Arlington Elementary, or Park Heights Academy are zoned for Pimlico Middle school.
If you live in this zone, call or email the school to enroll.
Not sure of your enrollment zone?
We also serve non-zoned elementary and middle school students throughout Baltimore City.
As a charter school, we also participate in City Schools lottery process. Please complete the online interest form below, and someone will reach out to you with the next steps.
Pre-Kindergarten
Your child must be 4 years old prior to September 1. Pre-K priority is given to students who meet the age requirement and are considered low-income, homeless, or receive special education services. All Pre-K registration must be done online through Baltimore City Public Schools. Learn more.
Kindergarten – 5th Grade
Baltimore City Public Schools require all children aged 5 by September 1 to be enrolled in Kindergarten. Priority thresholds does not apply to K-5 applicants.
Middle School
Non-zoned middle school students go through the Middle School Choice process during their fifth-grade year. The middle school choice application is available beginning in December and is due mid-January.
As a neighborhood charter school, we do not provide transportation services as no student who lives in our enrollment zone lives far enough away to qualify for services. Families are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from school.
Middle school students who live 1.5 miles or more from the school may be eligible to receive a One Card for use on the MTA through Baltimore City Public Schools. For more transportation information, go to the Baltimore City Public Schools website
