    I attend Stinson and will be zoned to Schell ES starting 2025-2026. I would like to stay at Stinson on a transfer.


    I am a 9th grader at Williams who lives in the Schell zone, which means I will be attending McMillen for 10th grade. I would like to stay at Williams on a transfer.

    Tier 2

    School is closing or address will be rezoned and my high school feeder has changed.

    Students choosing to transfer to a different school other than where they are currently zoned or will be zoned for in the 2025-2026 school year to stay in the same 9-10 high school feeder.

    I attend Armstrong and will be zoned to Bowman, thus changing my feeder high school to Williams. I would like to transfer to Otto or Murphy to retain McMillen as my feeder high school.


    I will be a 9th grader at Clark, but because I am in the Harrington zone, I will be rezoned to Vines for my 10th grade year. I want to stay at Clark my 10th grade year (without transportation).
