Intra-District Transfers

Intra-district transfers allow students to attend a school other than their neighborhood school within the West Contra Costa Unified School District.
- Families may request a transfer based on special programs, transportation needs, or family circumstances.
- Transfers are approved based on space availability and district guidelines.
- Students must remain in good academic and behavioral standing.
- Applications are typically submitted during an open enrollment window, and families must reapply when changing school levels (e.g., elementary to middle).
WCCUSD aims to honor requests while balancing enrollment across all schools to ensure equitable access to programs and services throughout the district.
