[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We transferred in last year along with a number of other families. No strings. No connections.[/quote]

Can I ask why you transferred? I am curious how they weigh who gets transferred and why. [/quote]

Not the PP you are addressing but I have posted before.  Here is the process:

1 - Register your child at your zoned elementary school
2 - Contact Principal at desired school and discuss the availability of spaces for the grade your child will enter.  Principal can tell you if they are likely to have spaces.  This is the most important issue. No spaces equals no transfers.  The Principal might not be able to tell you for sure at the time if spaces will be available. You will need to continue to check in.
3 - At the same time you contact the principal, fill out the transfer form and submit to the person who handles transfers for the City. Info on the ACPS webpage
4 - Wait.  Decisions are not usually known until August when numbers are more firm for the upcoming school year. If you first choice school isn't available, they will likely provide you with options for ones that are available. Reasons they might deny a transfer - no space available, you already have a transfer yet your child has a poor attendance record at the school you transferred to (indicates that it is difficult to get the child to a school that is not in your neighborhood); you already have a transfer and your child has poor behavior issues that you have not been willing to work with the school on.

Very helpful. Thanks.

If you don't get in the first time you can keep trying, just repeat the process above.  You can continue to check in with the Principal during the year to see if spaces become available and if so, transfer in then.
