Student Transfers
Out-of-District (Inter-District) Transfers
2026–2027 School Year
Liberty Hill ISD does not accept general out-of-district (inter-district) transfer students in accordance with Board Policy FDA (Local). Enrollment is limited to students who reside within district boundaries.
Limited exceptions may apply as permitted by Board policy, including previously approved grandfathered transfers and eligible employee-based student transfers.
Families who move into Liberty Hill ISD attendance zones may enroll at their zoned campus upon providing required residency documentation. Information regarding enrollment requirements and campus zoning is available through the district’s student services department.
Employee-Based Student Transfers
2026–2027 School Year
Liberty Hill ISD may offer limited transfer consideration for children of district employees, in alignment with Board Policy FDB (Local) and applicable administrative guidelines. Employee-based student transfers may include students who reside outside of district boundaries, as permitted by policy.
These requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to capacity, staffing, and program availability.
Employee-based transfer guidelines:
- Must be submitted annually
- Approval is not guaranteed
- Do not provide automatic placement at a specific campus or feeder pattern
- Require the employee to maintain active employment status with the district
- Transportation is the responsibility of the parent/guardian; however, bus transportation may be available if the assigned campus aligns with the employee’s work feeder pattern (refer to the Employee Handbook for full transportation provisions)
- All other transfer conditions apply
For additional information, application procedures, and current guidelines, staff members should refer to the Employee Handbook and contact the Student Services Department or designated student transfer team through internal district channels.
In-District (Intra-District) Transfers
The Intra-District Transfer window is now closed. Families who submitted a transfer request form will be notified regarding the next step at the beginning of July. Thank you!
2026–2027 School Year
Liberty Hill ISD offers an intra-district (in-district) transfer option in accordance with Board Policy FDB (Local). This option is available only to currently enrolled LHISD students requesting a transfer between designated campuses.
Eligibility Criteria
Requests for intra-district transfers will be considered based on:
- Available capacity at the requested campus and/or grade level
- Staffing and program availability
- Student attendance and discipline history
A limited number of intra-district transfer openings may be available at the following campuses for the 2026–2027 school year:
- Lariat Trails Elementary School
- Louine Noble Elementary School

- Santa Rita Elementary School (only open to students zoned to Tierra Rosa Elementary School)
Important Considerations
- Transfers are granted one school year at a time
- Approval is not guaranteed and requires reapplication each year

- Sibling transfers are evaluated individually and may not both be approved
- Transportation is not provided for transfer students
- A $50 non-refundable processing fee is required for each approved application
