Moorpark Unified School District

Students are assigned to elementary and middle schools by attendance area; the district also calls this the neighborhood or boundary school. To find yours, the district points families to its online School Locator/Boundary Maps tool, run by PowerSchool, or to the Enrollment Center at (805) 378-6300, extension 1525. Students who enroll at their own attendance-area school do not need to fill out a choice application.

Being in an attendance area does not guarantee a seat. The district asks families to register early, because once a school is full, new students may be placed at another school with open seats. Students who enroll after a school, grade or classroom fills go on a waiting list. All school and teacher assignments stay tentative until enrollment is counted in the first days of the school year, and decisions about who moves weigh the enrollment date, transportation and the needs of specialized classes.

For high school, the district lists two options. Moorpark High School is the comprehensive high school for grades 9–12. The High School at Moorpark College is a middle college that students enter by application. High school registration is done at the campus itself, not through the online TK–8 enrollment system.

Coming from (or leaving for) another district

Families who live outside the district fill out an Interdistrict Transfer Agreement and submit it to their home district first. Include the latest transcript or report card, behavior and attendance reports, any IEP or 504 plan, and documents supporting the reason for the request. The listed reasons are child care, parent employment, sibling, health and safety, specialized program, continuing enrollment, final year and change in residence.

Once the home district approves, the agreement goes to Moorpark Unified at 5297 Maureen Lane for review. When a decision is made, the family and the home district get an email, and the family can then register. Requests for the next school year are accepted starting in January and are reviewed case by case throughout the year.

Families hear back no later than 14 calendar days after the school year starts; requests during the current year are answered within 30 calendar days. An approved transfer lasts through the highest grade at that school, and a new agreement is needed when moving from elementary to middle school and from middle to high school. A transfer can be revoked for poor attendance, behavior or lack of academic effort.

If either district says no, families can appeal to the Ventura County Board of Education.

Enrolling

New students in TK through grade 8 register online through the district's online enrollment module. For 2026–27, registration opened January 20, 2026. Families upload proof of birth (birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport), proof of residency (a recent utility bill, rental agreement or escrow papers), immunization records and a parent's driver's license or photo ID.

Families sharing a home use a Shared Residence Affidavit with the homeowner's utility bill. Students starting school for the first time need a dental checkup by May 31, 2027. For 2026–27, children had to be 4 by September 1, 2026 for TK and 5 by September 1, 2026 for kindergarten.

Children born between July 1 and September 1, 2021 could choose TK or kindergarten, and children born September 2, 2021 through September 1, 2022 were eligible for TK as space permitted. High school and preschool families register directly with the school. For help, call the Enrollment Center at (805) 378-6300, extension 1525.
