We believe that students, families, and schools are served by consistency, but we also recognize that family circumstances may mean that transferring schools is sometimes necessary. With KIPP Texas Public Schools, you can remain in our joyful, academically excellent school network even when life takes you to another area of our city or state!
Current KIPP Texas families can apply for a transfer to attend a different KIPP Texas school during a transfer period. All families applying for transfers must complete re-enrollment documents and select that the student is returning.
*New to KIPP families must attend a KIPP school before requesting a transfer.
In-year transfer requests will be reviewed and assessed based on the information provided and approved only if the request is unpredictable, meets the following criteria (in order of priority), and space is available at the requested transfer school. Transfer requests are not guaranteed.
Please note that transportation for transfers is not guaranteed. Contact your current school if you have any questions.

Each KIPP Texas school resides in a geographic priority zone. All students’ home addresses are zoned to specific KIPP Texas Public Schools. Applicants who live within those priority zones will receive priority for that school. Families requesting a transfer from one KIPP school to another must select their “priority zoned school.”
If your zip code is listed under selected schools, that is considered your “Priority Zoned School.”
Once the transfer request form has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation message and a copy of your form responses in your email.
The KIPP Texas Transfer Committee will review transfer requests once the window has closed. Within the following two weeks, you will receive a notification through email of the decision.
