District Transfers

Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, intradistrict transfers will be permitted at the elementary level within the same feeder pattern within Wylie ISD based on classroom availability, attendance (including tardies and late pickups), grades, and discipline. Parents wishing to transfer their child to an elementary school outside their attendance zone must provide transportation, as Wylie ISD does not provide transportation for transfer students.

Elementary transfer requests are limited to schools within the same feeder pattern. Students may only transfer among the following grouped campuses:

• Akin, Cox, and Watkins
• Birmingham, Dodd, and Smith
• Bush and Kreymer
• Groves, Tibbals, and Whitt

For example, a student who attends Akin Elementary may request a transfer to Cox or Watkins, but not to a school outside of that feeder pattern.

Parents need to be aware that as their child completes his/her time at elementary school, he/she will be required to attend his/her home campus for 5th grade. Wylie ISD accepts transfers only to intermediate, junior high, and high school under extreme circumstances.

If a family moves to a different Wylie ISD zone during the school year, their children may finish at their current school, provided the parent provides transportation and the transfer is approved. The following school year, however, these students will be required to attend the school in their zone. If a student is a junior in high school and his/her family moves to the other high school zone, the student may complete his/her senior year at the current high school, provided the transfer is approved.

The Wylie ISD orchestra program will be housed at Davis Intermediate, McMillan Junior High and Wylie High School. Any entering 5th or 6th grade students may transfer to Davis Intermediate to be in the orchestra program. The orchestra program formally begins in the 6th grade, but students that intend to be in the program in the 6th grade will be allowed to transfer in the 5th grade in order to avoid attending two intermediate schools. In addition, siblings may transfer to be in the same school/elementary feeder pattern, if there is space available. Transportation will be provided for students in orchestra, but no transportation is provided for siblings wishing to transfer. As well, parents need to be aware that if their student chooses to no longer participate in the orchestra program at any time or in any grade, the student and siblings must return to their home campus(es).

Full-time employees of Wylie ISD may apply for an intradistrict or out-of-district transfer for their child(ren) at all grade levels. (Employee must be the parent/guardian of the student) Students must meet and maintain all requirements for transfers including attendance/tardies, grades, and discipline. No transportation is provided. Please note, any student who transfers to a school outside of the student’s attendance area of residence will be subject to all eligibility rules of UIL.

CAUTION: A transfer could cause your student to be ineligible for UIL varsity competition. For questions regarding eligibility, please contact the Executive Director of Athletics.
