In addition to this, students who live in the Town of Iron Gate and the Iron Gate Hill area also won’t be affected and will continue to attend Sharon Elementary.

Sources indicate that Sharon Elementary School attendance boundaries will be expanding to include areas of Clifton Forge, such as a section of Ingalls Street that encompasses its intersection with Jefferson Avenue as well as the 1300 blocks of Madison Avenue and Linden Avenue.
Those living in the Fairview Heights section of the town will attend Mountain View Elementary School.
Furthermore, Callaghan Elementary School’s boundaries have expanded to include areas along and west of Route 687, such as Clearview Estates and Clearwater Park.
