Interdistrict Transfers

What is an interdistrict transfer?
An interdistrict transfer is when a student requests to attend a high school within a different school district from where they live.

How do I transfer my student to another school district?
Applications from the Antelope Valley Union High School District to another school district are linked below.   Upon review and approval by the Deputy Superintendent, the form may be mailed, emailed, or hand-delivered by the parent/guardian to the school district requested. Approval by the AVUHSD does not necessarily indicate automatic approval by the school district requested.

How do I transfer my student to the Antelope Valley Union High School District?
  • Interdistrict transfer applications from another high school district to AVUHSD should be obtained from the high school district of residence.
  • Upon approval by the high school district of residence, the form may be mailed or hand-delivered by the parent/guardian to the AVUHSD Student Services office located at 176 Holston Drive, Lancaster, CA 93535. The form may also be faxed to (661) 952-5468 or emailed to studentservices@avhsd.org
  • The deadline to submit incoming interdistrict transfer applications is typically in March. Exceptions to the deadline may be made if the student is requesting a renewal and is already attending the school requested, or if the family has recently moved from AVUHSD to another school district and the student is already attending the school requested, or if the student has a sibling who is currently attend the school requested and will continue at that school for the specified school year.

Do interdistrict transfer applications need to be renewed each year?
Interdistrict transfer applications no longer need to be renewed each year for most school districts within Los Angeles County.
