intra-district permit
(from one lausd school to another)
Intra-District Permits are for families who live within the boundaries of LAUSD, but not within the Castle Heights attendance area, and who want to request this type of permit to attend Castle Heights.
If you live within the Castle Heights attendance area, then Castle Heights is your home school and no permit is needed to attend here. You may go directly to our Enrollment page.
If needed, you may find your specific home school by using the LAUSD Resident School Identifier tool and typing in your residence address.
