We are buying a home in the area. Can you tell me which school my student will attend?
See School Boundaries below.
We have moved and my son/daughter prefers to stay at the same high school. How do I arrange this?
When a student changes his/her residence and is still within El Dorado Union High School District boundaries, the parent may apply for an intradistrict transfer.
If the new residence is outside of the El Dorado Union High School District, the parent must contact the District Office of the district of which the new residence exists to inquire about an interdistrict transfer.

How do I know which high school my son/daughter will attend in the next school year?
You may contact the El Dorado Union High School District Student Services office by phone at 530.622-5081, ext. 7229, or by e-mail.
High school students will be expected to attend the high school based on their home residence within the school's boundaries. It is District practice, however, to allow current students to remain at their current high school if a school's boundary change should otherwise affect their school of attendance. The District WILL NOT move current high school students if their school boundary changes. It is also District practice to allow siblings to attend the same high school if both siblings are concurrently enrolled during the same school year and reside within the same household.
Bus transportation, however, will only be provided to students who live within the school's boundary. The District cannot provide transportation to multiple schools from one neighborhood. However, the student will be allowed bus transportation if a parent chooses to drive the student daily to a nearby bus stop within the attendance boundary of the school of attendance. A bus fee application must be completed and a bus pass purchased for the student. The district cannot establish a new bus stop for an intradistrict transferring student.
