Transfer OK'd for elementary but what about middle & high school?

Hi,

Currently, we live in Richmond, and my son already transfers to a school at Pinole, (kindergarten).
I just wonder will any mommy know will he automatically get transfer later in the road to Pinole middle and HS? because we are looking for housing now but the market is still a bit hot, the closest city we can afford is El Sobrante, but I really wish to keep him in Pinole.

Thank you

You will definitely have to reapply for middle and high school. Per the WCCUSD transfer form: "Student will be able to stay at approved school site until the highest grade." In my experience, we knew many families whose transfers for middle and high school were denied for lack of space as the desired school.

You will need to put in an intra district transfer for the middle and high school as well. The district does not automatically transfer to middle or high school.
