Steindorf STEAM Magnet School
-
Steindorf STEAM School is a magnet school and serves just under 500 students, Kindergarten through 8th grade. As a magnet school, it offers Cambrian School District residents the flexibility to attend Steindorf no matter what their school attendance boundary is.
Due to more students requesting Steindorf than space available, a priority list and a lottery system will determine the order in which students will be admitted. The lottery is held sometime in mid-March. All requests for Steindorf must be completed and submitted no later than March 1, at 4 pm every year. There are no exceptions to the deadline.

Current Cambrian Students (Students who are currently attending a school in the Cambrian School District):
♦ Complete an Intradistrict Transfer Request Google Form. A link to the online form will be posted here on January 23, 2023. As well as emailed out to current families.
Out of District Residents:

What is the possiblity of getting into Steindorf?
Due to more students requesting Steindorf than space available, a priority list and a lottery system are in place. The odds vary from year to year and from grade level to grade level.
Kindergarten: The odds are the highest as every year the whole grade level accepts new students. Over the past three years, on average, 34% of students who requested Kindergarten at Steindorf were able to get in.
1st-8th Grade: Students were admitted as space became available from existing students withdrawing from Steindorf. Cambrian School District cannot predict the number of available spaces for grades 1st - 8th. Availability changes from year to year and grade level to grade level.
