Frequently Asked Questions

We currently live in the CUHSD boundary lines and are thinking of moving; can my student remain at their current school?

If you move outside CUHSD boundaries, you can submit an Interdistrict Transfer to request to attend a CUHSD school. To start this request, you must contact the district for your home address.

If you moved within CUHSD boundaries and want to request a school other than the one assigned to your new home address, you may request an Intradistrict Transfer.

These requests, like all transfer requests, are not guaranteed to be approved. Do not rely on school information provided by realtors, renting agencies, or any source other than the School Locator. Information provided by other sources is often incorrect.

We live outside of CUHSD boundary lines and my student has been attending middle school on an Interdistrict or Charter transfer permit; what do I need to do?

Any student residing outside CUHSD boundaries who wishes to request to attend a CUHSD high school must initiate an Interdistrict Transfer request with their home school district of residence. Use the Santa Clara County Tax Assessors Public Portal to find your home school district information.

The home school district will handle the release and forward it to CUHSD for consideration. Decisions are typically sent in the Spring. Your student cannot complete class placement requests or participate in any event or activity at a CUHSD school unless a transfer is approved and placement confirmed.

It is recommended to enroll your student in your home school of residence to ensure a smooth transition to high school.

I put in a request for a Transfer and I’m getting emails from my home school of residence; does that mean my request was denied? What do I do?

High school attendance is based on your home residence address. Submitting a transfer request does not change your school placement; only a decision approving the transfer will result in a change of enrollment.

You will not receive any communication from your requested school unless and until your request is approved and the enrollment is transferred.

In the meantime, please proceed with attending your home school of residence parent nights, class selection processes and any other activities/events.

What are the chances of my transfer request getting approved?

This question is impossible to answer with any certainty, as the number of requests and space at our schools varies annually.

CUHSD allows a limited number of transfers within the district (Intra) and/or from outside the district (Inter) if site capacity permits. These are reviewed annually based on site and program capacity.

Please include any and all reasoning, explanation, and/or documentation related to your request with your initial form.

I submitted an Interdistrict transfer request into a CUHSD school, when will I find out if it has been approved?

My inter-district transfer was approved-what's next?

My transfer request was denied; what is my recourse?

If you reside outside of the CUHSD boundary lines and your request for an Interdistrict Transfer is denied, AB 2826 imposes a timeline for parents to appeal a district's decision within 30 calendar days. Please visit the SCCOE Appeal process page.

Please note that if your appeal is successful and you are placed within CUHSD, the district decides what school your student will be placed at. This is likely to not be the school site you requested, and the appeal decision does not dictate school placement.
