Villa Park High School

How to Enroll at Villa Park High School

Villa Park High School enrolls students by Orange Unified attendance area: students who live inside the boundary register by address, with no entrance exam. The district's School Locator is the authority on which school an address is assigned to.

District residents who want a school other than their school of residence can apply for Open Enrollment, submitting a separate online application to each school they want; applications go directly to the school. Open enrollment for 2026-27 reopened at 8 a.m. on February 2, 2026; applications received after the closing date go on a waiting list and are processed as openings arise. Villa Park High School's website also posts a grade 9-12 open enrollment form.

Students who live outside the district, including Irvine residents, must first obtain a release from their home district and then submit it to the school they wish to attend (Villa Park High School asks for it by email). The school checks whether space is available in the school or program, notifies the family, and forwards the request to the district's Student and Community Services office. The district began accepting 2026-27 inter-district requests on February 2, 2026.

Reasons the district lists for approving inter-district attendance include a sibling attending in the district, finishing the school year after moving out mid-year, staying with a graduating class, returning as a senior after moving out during junior year, and enrolling in a program not offered in the home district. Initial requests may be denied when the grade level is full, and families who are denied may appeal to the County Board of Education.
