Student Transfers

Families who would like their child to attend an APS school outside their assigned attendance area in 2025-26 may apply through ParentVue for a transfer beginning January 1, 2025. Applications also may be completed in person in the Student Service Center on the first floor of the APS administration building, 6400 Uptown Blvd. NE.

For the 2025-2026 school year, families must complete the transfer request process through ParentVUE (students do not need a student ID number to transfer).

Transfers are granted on a space and program available basis using a random selection process (lottery) and priority system which is in compliance with district, state and federal requirements. Transfers are not on a first-come, first-served basis; requests will be processed as having been received on the same day in January. Students who currently have an approved transfer don't need to reapply unless they want to change schools. However, students who are transitioning from elementary to middle school or middle school to high school DO need to apply for a transfer if they want to attend a school outside their assigned area.
