The SCHOOL CHOICE request form for University Park Elementary ONLY for grades Kindergarten - 6th will open be posted on Monday January 5, 2026. If you wish to pursue a school choice spot at ANY OTHER Irvine Unified School District school site, please visit the desired school's website. More information can be found at https://iusd.org/about/iusd-enrollment/intradistrict-school-choice for the proper School Choice procedure.
SCHOOL CHOICE GUIDELINES:
Reflecting the belief that parents should have a choice of schools, the Irvine Unified School District established an Intradistrict/School Choice Policy. This policy provides the opportunity for parents who reside in the district to enroll their student in any school within the district on a space available basis.
Each school is required to serve the students who live within its attendance area prior to accepting any students from outside its boundary. To determine your assigned neighborhood school, simply input your address in the School Locator map (found on our website at http://www.iusd.org/enrollment/index.html).
Though the district supports parental choice and is committed to School Choice, once enrollment reaches school capacity, that school or grade level will be closed to School Choice. The following conditions also restrict the opportunities for School Choice:
- Approvals are for one year and are reviewed each year.
- Parents must provide transportation.
- Space must be available at the requested school.
- Transition to middle school or high school is based not on previous school of enrollment, but on the school attendance area assigned to the neighborhood of residence.
