Second Chance at Excellence: Dallas ISD Opens Second Round of Specialty School and Neighborhood Transfer Applications

Don’t forget to apply for second round by May 30, 2025 and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

The second round of specialty school and neighborhood transfer applications is now open

Following the initial application period, Dallas ISD is now accepting applications from students for the second round through May 30 on a first-come, first-served basis to fill remaining seats at schools. Applications are being accepted for specialty schools and for transfers to legacy schools, also known as neighborhood schools.  
 
The second-round application process focuses on schools and programs that still have space available. This includes

• Specialty Schools:  Magnet schools, P-TECH programs, dual language programs, transformation schools, International Baccalaureate schools and other choice schools.
• Legacy (neighborhood) school transfers: This allows students to attend a different neighborhood school than their assigned one, provided that the school has available space and the student meets certain criteria.

Don't Miss This Opportunity!

The second round of applications represents a valuable chance to explore alternative educational pathways within Dallas ISD. Take advantage of this opportunity to find the best fit for your child and set them on a path to success. Research, prepare, and apply – a world of possibilities awaits!

The application platform is fully supported by the latest versions of the following browsers: Desktop - Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox; Mobile - Chrome, Safari
