a campus upon entry into the district. To avoid overcrowding of schools and to keep a proper balance in enrollment, the administration reserves the right to assign out of district transfer students to any one of the district’s campuses. -

No, we are not accepting applications for out of district transfers who qualify for pre-kindergarten. We are only considering students in grades K-12.
-
I have multiple children in the district who are out of district transfer students. If one of my children is approved to transfer into the LHISD, does this mean all of my students are accepted?
No. Students are approved/denied individually.
-
What are the factors for approving and denying out of district transfer students?
In approving out of district transfer students, the superintendent, or designee, shall consider the availability of space and instructional staff, the student’s disciplinary history, and attendance records.
-
We live in Liberty Hill ISD attendance zone boundaries and our child currently attends a Liberty Hill ISD campus. We are moving out of the district. Can our child still attend Liberty Hill ISD?
Legally, the day you move out of the district, you are no longer considered a resident of Liberty Hill ISD, and therefore your child would need to attend the district where you now reside.
-
We own land within the Liberty Hill ISD attendance zone boundaries and pay school taxes to LHISD, however, we live outside of the LHISD boundary. Can our children attend LHISD schools next year on the basis of our property?
The requirements for attending a Texas public school is the student’s primary residence and that is defined as where they “lay their head at night.” Based on this condition, your property would not qualify your student as a Liberty Hill Independent School District resident.
-
Are current out of district transfer students automatically renewed for subsequent years?
No. A review of current out of district transfer students’ attendance and discipline will be conducted each spring. If the student is not meeting district standards in any of these areas for the previous school year, they may not be renewed for the coming school year.
-
What happens if my out of district transfer student application is denied?
Your student will need to attend school in your home district. If Liberty Hill Independent School District accepts out of district transfer students the following school year, you may reapply at that time. There is no appeal process for a transfer application that is denied.
