Additional Information About School Choice

Transfer requests are available to students who live within the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District boundaries. If you wish to apply for a transfer, please review the information listed below:

  • The period for Choice Transfers begins on January 10, 2025, and ends on February 14, 2025.  Only transfer requests submitted during this timeframe will be eligible for School Choice consideration.
  • Transfer requests submitted from January 10 to February 14, 2025, are equally considered and are not granted on a “first come, first serve basis.” 
  • Choice Transfer requests received after February 14, 2025, will only be considered based on space and availability. 
  • Impacted schools (defined by schools that have higher enrollment than projected enrollment and thus considered at full capacity) may not have additional space for the 2025-2026 school year.

  • During the open School Choice window, interested families may complete a School Choice Transfer Request through Informed K12. The link to submit applications will be live on January 10, 2025 and can be found on this page. 

 
 
In-person assistance for completing a School Choice request can be made at the PYLUSD Student Services Office located at 1301 E. Orangethorpe Avenue, Placentia, CA 92870.

 

If you live outside the PYLUSD boundaries and are requesting an inter-district transfer to continue attending PYLUSD, you must apply for a transfer release from your district of residence. If available, please attach your inter-district transfer release to the online application.
