Student Transfers

Keller ISD Resident or Currently Enrolled Student Request

Transfer Application Window: February 1 - May 31 (Window Closed for 2026-2027)

For questions, email StudentServices@KellerISD.net.

When reviewing student transfer requests, the requesting campus administrators will consider each request on an individual basis and decisions will be made depending on space availability, along with adherence to the following guidelines: 

• Student's academic, attendance (including tardiness), and behavioral history; 
• Student's need for special education services not provided at home campus; 
• Evidence of physical or medical needs of students; and 
• Feeder pattern progression (students are not guaranteed progression through feeder pattern campuses).

Meeting any or all of the above criteria does not guarantee approval. Keller ISD will not increase staffing allocations to accommodate transfer requests. Consideration of the effect of the transfer may differ at elementary and secondary schools. 

 

Non-Residents of Keller ISD (Limited Out-of-District Enrollment)

Transfer Application Window: May 1 - June 16

Capacity for non-resident transfers for the 2026-27 school year exists at the following campuses: 

• Hidden Lakes Elementary School 
• Liberty Elementary School 
• Shady Grove Elementary School 
• Indian Springs Middle School (6-8 grades only)
• Keller High School (9th grade only)

Transfer requests to any other schools will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 

Students who reside outside the Keller ISD attendance zone and are not currently enrolled in the district must include the student's most recent attendance and grade reports and disclose any discipline issues from the student's previous school at the time of application. 

These requests will be evaluated with the same guidelines as all other transfer requests. 

This transfer process does not apply to pre-k students, admission to the Keller Collegiate Academy, or admission to the New Directions Learning Center.

Keller ISD does not have interlocal transfer agreements with other school districts in place to facilitate a special right of interdistrict transfer for children of servicemembers or peace officers. Such interdistrict transfer requests would be addressed the same as any non-resident request.
