I currently live in DC and looking to move to MC, but the search is taking longer than anticipated.
Is the non-resident enrollment a possibility if I pay $22,000 tuition or there are restrictions for doing that? Any advice from parents with kids enrolled as non-residents would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| I cannot imagine paying $22,000 to enroll in school here. It's not that good! why not just stay in DCPS until you find a place? |

| If your kid is good at sports I will let you use my address as home of record and save you the enrollment fees. |

| MCPS is not worth paying that money for! Just hang tight in DCPS until you find your home in MoCo. |

| I think you can only do it at schools with space. |

| Pay for a private for that price. |

| You could enter a lease for someone's basement in my neighborhood for less than that. My kid's friend's parents did that to go to a better school within mcps |

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/studentservices/schooling/iae/residency/ If it's not going to be the school where your child is going to later enroll, I really don't see the point of paying for MCPS at all. That tuition is bonkers. You could probably pay someone to use their address for way less. |
