Transfer requests in the Rochester City School District are classified in two ways:
- Voluntary transfers are accepted beginning May 1 of each school year based on order of receipt and space availability. The 2024-25 Voluntary Transfer Process ended on September 30, 2024 and new requests are currently not being accepted. The transfer window will be shared with the community in early 2025.
- Safety, medical, and hardship transfers are available throughout the school year. To begin this process, contact your child's school as this type of transfer requires additional documentation and participation from school administrative staff. Transfers submitted by school personnel are reviewed weekly by a Transfer Committee. Once a transfer has been reviewed, families will receive notification from district personnel about the acceptance or denial of a safety, medical, or hardship transfer request.
