Transfer Requests

Here are the different types of transfer requests.

Resident Transfer

Transfer Requests are submitted by Highline residents who wish to request that their student attend another school within Highline Public Schools other than their student’s neighborhood school. There are two types of resident transfers: In-district transfer and dual language partner school transfer requests. For the 2026-27 school year, both types use the same transfer form.

Choice Transfer Release

Students wishing to leave Highline Public Schools to request attendance in a different school district must submit a Choice Transfer Request (CTR) release.

Non-resident Student Request to Highline Public Schools

Students that live outside of Highline Public Schools boundaries are considered non-resident students. Those students wishing to request attendance to Highline Public Schools as a non-resident must request a Choice Transfer Request (CTR) release with their resident school district and a non-resident application form to Highline Public Schools.
