Student Transfer Requests

If you reside in the Greenwood School District 50 attendance area and wish to request that your child attend a school, in District 50, other than the one to which he/she is zoned to attend, you must complete an in-district transfer request. Approval of all transfer requests are based on the school's capacity, the reason for transfer, student's attendance and behavior.

• Each year, based on the expected enrollment and capacity of each school, the school district decides which schools and programs will be open to transfers as well as how many students can be approved to attend a school through the transfer window.
• Students who are currently in kindergarten through 11th grade may apply for a transfer. In addition, students who will begin kindergarten in the upcoming year may apply.
• Preschool age students (K4) are not eligible for a transfer through the district transfer process. The Director of Evaluation will handle all pre-K applications and enrollments.
• Students receiving special education may apply for a transfer through the district’s transfer process. The decision to grant the request is based on the student’s programming needs and program capacity at the school of choice.
• Parents whose children participate as a transfer student, must have transportation provided, to and from school. The inability of a student to meet the attendance expectations of the school will lead to the transfer approval being revoked. In that case, the student must then return to the zoned school.
• Any student attending a school through a transfer must maintain exemplary punctuality and attendance at school, cooperate with the school in regards to academic and disciplinary expectations, provide transportation to and from school, and submit required annual Proof of Residency as a condition of remaining at the school.
• The rules of the South Carolina High School League determine eligibility for interscholastic athletics and activities for middle and high school students. It is the parents’ and students’ responsibility to be aware of these athletic procedures before applying for a district transfer.  Any student who accepts a transfer and participates in an athletic activity during the spring or summer may have their eligibility affected. If you have questions regarding participation in interscholastic athletics, please contact your school’s athletic director prior to applying for a transfer to a school other than your zoned school. 
• If approved for a GWD 50 transfer, a student does not need to apply yearly for the same school. Transfer approvals are valid for the duration of a student's stay at the approved school until they change schools or move out of Greenwood District 50 zone.
• There are circumstances that could cause a student to have their transfer approval revoked pertaining to poor attendance, lack of cooperation with the school, behavior issues and/or academic performance.
