Intradistrict Transfers
What is an Intradistrict Transfer?
An Intradistrict Transfer allows a student who resides within the Poway Unified School District boundaries to request enrollment at a district school other than their assigned school of residence. These requests are subject to space availability and specific district criteria during the designated application window.
Now Open: Transfers for the 2026–2027 School Year are now open as of February 1, 2026.
