Jefferson County Schools Student Transfer

Transfer requests for the 2024-25 school year must be submitted no later than January 31, 2024.

Requests submitted outside of the open transfer season will be considered under extenuating circumstances.

Any eligible elementary, middle, or high school student may apply for enrollment in any school with grade level capacity and existing programs and services currently outside the district in which the student resides.

To request a student transfer from one school district to another, or from one school within Jefferson County to another, please use the JCS Student Transfer Form.

Please note:

All transfers are contingent upon the parent/guardian providing transportation and the student maintaining satisfactory attendance, behavior, and timely remittance of lunch bills and school debts.

The West Virginia Department of Education mandates a maximum number of students per class (grades K-6). Therefore, if the student's class size exceeds the maximum limit, the transfer will be rescinded. The decision to rescind a transfer may be made up to and including the first day of the school year.
