School Transfers

A student's school and resident school district is based on where the student resides. In some circumstances, a family may ask to transfer their student to a school outside of their resident district. This is called a nonresident student transfer. You may also hear it referred to as an out-of-district transfer, interdistrict transfer, choice transfer, variance, waiver, or school choice. To learn more, please visit All about School transfers .
The Online School Transfer Application Form is not to be used for registering new students or withdrawing students in the Everett School District. The School Transfers Department does not process enrollment, transcript requests or withdrawals for the district. Please contact your current or former school for further assistance.
