Transfer Students

POLAHS admits transfer students based on availability each year through a lottery system. Students interested in transferring to POLAHS must apply through SchoolMint (link above) in order to enter the transfer student lottery for their specific grade level. The purpose of the transfer lottery is to make up the order of the wait-list, which we will then use to fill spots once available. For more information, contact the Admissions office at 310-832-9201 Ext. 213.

 

Please note that the purpose of the transfer lottery is to make up the order of the wait-list. We will then use that wait-list to fill spots as they become available. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions office via email [email protected] or by phone 310-832-9201 Ext. 213
