| My DS dislikes his school and wants to go to Wootton or Churchill is it possible to send him without moving? |
| Maybe they will switch him if bullied? Not sure. Rent there, and rent out your house. |
| If you have a "unique hardship," you can request a COSA (Change of School Assignment). |
To attend a school you need to live in its boundary. |
| How does he know that he will like one of those specific schools better? |
Because Great Schools says they're the best! How could you not like the greatest school? |
This is “I saw it on the internet it must be true” simpleton mindset |
| Find someone who lives in that area and ask if you can use their address. This is common practice in Montgomery County. You just need to have a bill sent to that address. Once you are in the system at that address, you will be in that cluster forever and you’ll be set. |
Totally unethical but you do you |
Or you do what MCPS administrators have been doing for years. They sent their children where ever they want. |

Don’t kill the messenger. My kids attend the school that we are zoned for. Several of their friends do not, because they are using an ‘alternate’ address. It is what it is. And it definitely happens in MCPS, so just letting OP know that many families find this to be a viable option. |
I'm curious about this, too. Does he friends there already? Do you think W schools don't have issues? Why do you think those two schools would be a better fit for him? |
| Don’t feed the troll |
I know, right? Dr McKnight sends her kids to school in PG County! |
