Key Criteria for Transfer Consideration

Academic Credits

  • The student has earned enough credits to stay on track for graduation. 
  • The student actively participates in coursework and shows commitment to improving credit status. 
  • Transferring to an alternative setting would enhance academic performance.

Support Needs

  • The student qualifies for additional support services, such as tutoring or counseling. 
  • A new school setting would better meet the student’s needs, particularly for those experiencing homelessness, in foster care, newcomers, or pregnant/parenting.

Attendance

  • The student’s current attendance level impacts academic progress. 
  • A new environment would likely support more consistent attendance.

Behavior

  • Efforts to address behavior concerns have been made at the current school.
  • A structured, alternative setting would offer better support for positive behavior and academic success.
