Transfer Students to Higher Quality Schools
Districts close a low performing school and support the thoughtful transfer of students into existing A or B schools by communicating with families, providing school options to students, and allocating resources to the students’ new schools to ensure a smooth transition.
Districts should consider this action if the district determines closure is the best option for a persistently struggling school, can commit to supporting students through the process, and is able to create space at existing high-quality schools where students will be better served.
Why Choose this Action?
Immediately expand access to schools with a track record of success in improving outcomes.
Partner with the community to plan for a smooth transition and potential future use of the facility.
