The two layers, mapped
- Hart District (7-12, valley-wide): the high-school zone drives village premiums — West Ranch and Valencia zones lead. See the Hart District zone guide.
- Newhall SD: Stevenson Ranch and the Valencia/Newhall south — the corridor's reputational leader at elementary level.
- Saugus Union: the valley's largest elementary district — Saugus, north Valencia, Plum Canyon.
- Sulphur Springs Union: Canyon Country east — the value corridor's district.
- Castaic Union (K-8): Castaic's own district, feeding Hart's Castaic High (opened 2019).
How to verify any address
Two lookups, always: the elementary district's own boundary locator AND the Hart District's zone map — because the layers don't share boundaries, and a Saugus Union address can feed Valencia High while a Newhall SD address feeds West Ranch. Brian runs both checks on every SCV search; mislabeled listings are routine on village seams.
