Thank you for choosing Round Rock ISD. We’re glad you’re here. Our schools provide a quality, well-rounded education that meets students’ diverse needs. We recognize that families may seek choices for their children beyond the school in their attendance zone. Round Rock ISD also welcomes students who reside outside District boundaries, space permitting.
Families of a child enrolled at a Round Rock ISD school or attending another school district may apply for their student to transfer from their current zoned campus to any Round Rock ISD campus.
We evaluate each transfer request for space and availability in each grade level and/or program. The District will approve the transfer request if the campus determines that staffing or classroom conditions can accommodate additional students.
Campus transfer approvals are made based on a school’s overall capacity, separate from the capacity for specialty programs or classes. A campus cannot guarantee that a student can enroll in their preferred program(s) or classes, and may be offered an alternative to the courses preferred.
Early College High School is unavailable for non-employee transfer requests.
