District Transfers

Murrieta Valley USD encourages students to attend their designated neighborhood schools, which are assigned based on residential areas. However, the district also supports school choice when space is available.

Transfer Acceptance Requirements

New Applicants

To be eligible for a district transfer, students must meet the following criteria:

• Elementary Students (Grades 3-5): Must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress based on their standards-based academic history.
• Secondary Students (Grades 6-12): Must maintain a 2.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) with no failing (“F”) grades.
• Attendance: Students must have a 90% or better attendance rate.
• Behavior: Extensive minor incidents and/or suspensions within the past two years may result in denial. Applicants with a history of poor behavior will not be approved.

Transfer Renewals

• Students must maintain satisfactory attendance, behavior, and academic performance to renew their transfer.
• Students at risk of transfer revocation will be placed on an intervention contract with specific conditions that must be met.

Types of Transfer Requests

There are three ways for parents to request a school outside their neighborhood school:

1. Intradistrict Transfers (Within MVUSD): For students who live within Murrieta Valley USD boundaries but wish to attend a different school within the district.
2. Interdistrict Transfers (Into MVUSD): For students who live outside Murrieta Valley USD (e.g., Temecula, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore) but want to attend an MVUSD school.
3. Interdistrict Transfers (Out of MVUSD): For students who live inside Murrieta Valley USD boundaries but wish to transfer out to another district.
