Enrollment Guidelines
each of our neighborhood elementary and middle schools provides students with individualized lesson plans, state-of-the-art computer technology, and a
foundation in the visual and performing arts. By attending their neighborhood school, children
develop bonds with neighbors that follow them through high school.
Each of our neighborhood high schools offers a student-centered culture that provides young
minds with access to a rigorous academic curriculum, including college preparatory courses
and advanced placement (AP) classes. Students also have the opportunity to participate in
CIF athletics and get exposure to career opportunities.
There is so much amazing work being done by our students and staff across San Diego that
we could not share everything with you in a single catalogue. The purpose of this guide is to
provide a sample of some of this work and inspire your family to find out more. As always, our
Neighborhood Schools and Enrollment Options office is ready to assist you in that process.
We look forward to working with your family to help all students thrive.
Sincerely,
Cynthia “Cindy” Marten

Students are guaranteed access to the
high school serving their community,
although they may also qualify for other
options. To begin preparing even the
youngest learners to be successful in
high school, neighborhood elementary
and middle schools may offer classes
aligned with the pathways emphasized
by their local high school. These cohesive communities of neighborhood
schools are typically called school
“clusters.”

for the coming year.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
TRANSFERS
Students receiving Special Education services may submit a
School Choice application online. There is no special priority
provided. The availability of some Special Education services
may vary from school to school.
Students who enroll in a program should remain in the school

can impact a student’s eligibility for athletics. For immediate
athletic eligibility contact the district Athletic Office at (619)

the first three weeks. After the first three weeks of the school
year, students wishing to enroll in the resident school must file

SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES
The district gives priority to high school students wanting a

special request to enroll in a course at another school must be
submitted in writing at the same time a School Choice application is submitted online by the by the November 14 deadline.
The following applies to requests for a specialized course:
INTERDISTRICT TRANSFERS
• Available to high school students only
Students living or moving outside of the San Diego Unified
School District must submit a School Choice application
online at www.sandiegounified.org/apply. Once a student is
accepted by a school, the family must complete an interdistrict attendance permit by going through the resident school
district office. These permits are allowed for School Choice/
Open Enrollment and Magnet programs only, and do not apply
to VEEP. Approval of an interdistrict attendance permit means
a student has a valid reason to enroll in a school in the district.
However, it does not guarantee enrollment at a particular
school. Students do not need to re-submit a School Choice
application each year. It is important to note that some district
schools cannot accommodate interdistrict students due to
limited capacity. Transportation is not provided.
• S
tudent may attend the school only while enrolled in the
course
LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS
The transfer request only allows the student to return to the
resident school. Students who transfer from the non-resident
school and then wish to return must resubmit a School Choice
application, and are subject to all enrollment eligibility and
criteria.
TRANSPORTATION
School bus transportation is limited. Please visit the
Transportation website for current bus service information
at www.sandiegounified.org/transportation-services.
• School must have available space in the course
• Requests will not be granted at magnet schools
• Requests should be sent to www.sandiegounified.org/forms/
enrollment-options-contact-form
STUDENTS WHO MOVE OUT OF THEIR RESIDENT SCHOOL
BOUNDARY
You must re-apply at www.sandiegounified.org/apply in order
to continue at that school the following year. No special
priority is given to students who were resident students in
the past.
The contents herein were developed under a grant from
the Department of Education. However, those contents do
not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of
Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the
Federal Government.
Copies of this catalog are available in Spanish, Tagalog, and
Vietnamese. Contact the Neighborhood Schools and Enrollment
Options office for further information.
New students at Barnard, Language Academy, and Longfellow
must meet foreign language competency requirements if
applying after first grade.
SENIOR PRIORITY FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO
HAVE A CHANGE OF RESIDENCE
Senior priority is available only to students in good standing
who move during the 11th or 12th grade school year and who
continue to attend the same school, allowing them to graduate with their classmates. The student does not need to submit a School Choice application. This priority is contingent on
