Are you planning to transfer your child to another Albuquerque Public Schools campus? The district just announced that it will begin accepting transfer requests for 2027-28 on October 26. This gives you the opportunity to select a school that you think is best for your child’s interests and needs.
Albuquerque Public Schools will begin accepting transfer requests for the 2027-28 school year starting October 26. Families can apply through ParentVUE to request a school outside their designated attendance area, with most APS schools accepting transfer students offering various programs and learning environments.
Schools will host tours and open houses in October for families to explore options. Transfer requests submitted by November 30 will receive approval decisions by December 8, and families must accept or decline through ParentVUE by December 18. Additional help is available via the district’s Service Center.
APS said while most students attend schools based on where they reside, you can request transfer to a school outside your designated attendance area.
Most APS schools accept transfer students, giving families a wide range of choices across the district. You can explore schools that offer specialized programs, provide a different learning environment, or are closer to your workplace.
This October, APS schools will host tours, open houses, and other events where you can check out classrooms and meet teachers and staff. These visits also give you a chance to discover more about the opportunities available to students.
School Transfer Process
Starting October 26, families can submit transfer requests online through ParentVUE, the district’s parent portal.

Families who submitted transfer requests by November 30 will receive an email by December. 8 informing them whether the request was approved. If approved, you’ll have until December 18 to accept or decline the transfer through ParentVUE.
