Transferring to a Neighborhood Elementary School

Neighborhood schools that are not projected to reach capacity may exceed the five percent limit by accepting additional transfers from those schools at or projected to reach capacity during the next three years. This five percent limit does not apply to schools identified by the School Board as being area and countywide schools, special programs for which students from the entire county may apply on a space-available basis. (School Board Policy 25-2.2).

Note: 

• Lotteries are held if there are more requests than available spaces.
• Due to capacity limitations (described above), for the 2013-14 school year: No neighborhood elementary school may accept non-sibling transfers, with the exception of Hoffman-Boston Elementary.
  
• Due to capacity limitations (described above), for the 2013-14 school year: Arlington Science Focus, Barrett, Jamestown and Taylor may not accept non-sibling transfers.
