Available high schools:

• An interdistrict transfer application allows applicants to indicate three campuses of where they would prefer to enroll. If an interdistrict transfer applicant meets the district's criteria and the application is approved, the applicant’s preferences will be considered when determining where the student may enroll. An approved student may enroll only at a specific FBISD school where space and staffing are available at his or her grade level.
• Interdistrict transfer applications are considered by student and not by family. Approved interdistrict transfer applications remain in effect for one school year unless the application is revoked as per Board Policy FDA(LOCAL). For each transitional year, the student must complete a new interdistrict transfer required.
• For requests for the 2026-2027 school year, the parent/guardian shall be notified of the final decision according to the established timeline.
• An approved interdistrict transfer application for one child does not guarantee space availability for current or future siblings.
• Upon approval, all required documents must be submitted promptly (attendance record, discipline record, report card, special programs documentation, if applicable, IEP, 504, LPAC, GT acceptance documentation, etc.).
• Applicants should not un-enroll from their current school unless an approval letter has been received from FBISD.

Parents of interdistrict transfer students shall provide transportation to and from school. Requesting and accepting a transfer constitutes an assurance from the parent/guardian that they will provide safe and timely transportation.

Any student who transfers to a school outside the student's residence attendance zone will be subject to all eligibility rules of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) as well as those that may be adopted by the FBISD Board of Trustees.

Violation of the rules and polices as contained in the FBISD Student Code of Conduct, poor academic performance, repeated  repeated incidences of tardiness, or poor attendance may result in a revocation of the transfer.

Beginning April 2, grandparents who are full-time benefits-eligible FBISD employees may request an employee student transfer for their grandchildren. An approved transfer will remain for one school year and must be renewed annually.  Please visit the Student Transfer web page for more details.
