Lower Merion Public Elementary Schools
The Lower Merion School District has six public elementary schools that serve the families residing in Lower Merion Township and Narberth. Students attend elementary school for Kindergarten through 4th grades.
Each elementary school has a designated attendance area, which can be seen on the district's elementary school boundaries map.

The school district's transportation department determines the correct attendance area for addresses adjacent to school boundary lines.

School registration is by appointment only and must be made in person; proof of residency within the school district is required. For information about registering your child for school, and links to registration forms, visit the Lower Merion School District's registration page at lmsd.org.
