UCPS serves all of Waxhaw. Feeder patterns assign elementary, middle, and high by zone—e.g., Waxhaw Elementary, Kensington, New Town, Rea View, Western Union; Cuthbertson and Marvin Ridge at the middle and high levels. Use UCPS Edulog or Infinite Campus and verify for the specific address; choice and lotteries can affect placement.
