Schools Frozen to Transfers in 2019–20

Each year, Austin ISD determines which schools (K–12) should be frozen to transfers because they have, or are expected to have, enrollments that exceed their capacities. Also, some schools are frozen to maintain stability in tracking patterns. The list of schools frozen to transfers for the 2019–20 school year was announced Dec. 17 at the regular board meeting.

• High schools: Akins, Austin, Bowie, Lanier ECHS and McCallum.
• Middle schools: Fulmore, Lamar, Murchison and Small.
• Elementary schools: Baldwin, Baranoff, Blazier, Brentwood (except kindergarten), Casis (except kindergarten), Cowan, Doss, Gullett (except kindergarten), Hill, Kiker, Maplewood (except kindergarten and sixth grade), Menchaca, Oak Hill, Summitt (except kindergarten), and Zilker (except kindergarten).

In addition, the following grade levels will be frozen to priority and general transfers but will accept dual language applications:

• Becker (Pre-PK through 3rd grade)
• Reilly (Pre-K through 3rd grade)
• Sunset Valley (Pre-K through 3rd grade)

Ridgetop is frozen to priority and general at all grades but will take dual language applications for Pre-K and Kindergarten.

Frozen schools may still accept applications for magnet, application or dual language programs. Please contact the school directly for more information.
