Things to Know Before Applying

  • Transfer applications must be submitted each year.
     
  • It is the expectation that students attend the school in the attendance area in which they reside. 
     
  • Belton ISD does not provide transportation for transfer students. Transportation will be the responsibility of the parents.
     
  • Campuses that will be closed to new transfer requests because of enrollment caps for the 2026-2027 school year are:
    • Chisholm Trail Elementary
    • Lake Belton Middle School
    • North Belton Middle School
    • Lake Belton High School
  • In evaluating a transfer request, the following criteria will be considered:
    • Program needs of the student and program availability of the campus;
    • Available space of the school/class to which the student requests a transfer; 
    • Extraordinary family considerations;
    • UIL rules
    • Student’s attendance and/or discipline history
       
  • The following criteria will not be considered:
    • Legacy requests (i.e. historical familial relationships to Belton High School) 
    • Grandfather requests (maintaining current campus enrollment for a duplicated program)
    • Requests for specific staff, campus, or duplicated programs 
       
  • District employees may apply for transfers for their child but must meet the criteria outlined on this site and apply within the transfer window for the year.
     
  • Late applications will only be considered if unforeseen, extenuating family circumstances exist or there are verified changes in residence or military orders after the deadline.
