Rio Vista Schools: Public School Assignments & How to Verify Them

By Glen Primak, GLEN PRIMAK GROUP · Updated

Assigned public schools (as recorded in public records)

Rio Vista is served by Broward County Public Schools (BCPS). As of October 24, 2026, the Broward County Property Appraiser’s parcel records list the same three schools for every single-family parcel in Rio Vista with a county record:

LevelSchool recorded in BCPA parcel records
ElementaryHarbordale Elementary School
MiddleSunrise Middle School
HighFort Lauderdale High School

The City of Fort Lauderdale’s school-boundary map layers do not fully agree. Across Rio Vista’s address points they also show Croissant Park Elementary, New River Middle and Stranahan High for parts of the neighborhood. School boundaries are set by the school district, so for any specific address the BCPS lookup below is the answer.

Always confirm with the school district. Boundaries can change from one school year to the next, and only BCPS determines assignments. Enter the exact address in BCPS Find My School or the BCPS School Zones lookup. Ask BCPS about magnet, choice and other enrollment programs, which have their own application rules.

Where to research schools

  • Broward County Public Schools: assignments, enrollment, choice programs and school contact information.
  • Florida Department of Education: official accountability reports and school grades.
  • Private and independent schools publish admissions details on their own websites.

This guide reports school assignments as public-record facts only. It does not rank, rate or recommend schools, and it does not describe any neighborhood as suited to any group of people. Please do your own research and contact the schools directly.
