If this is indeed true, what would stop tons of families from renting 1 year in-bounds for the Deal/Wilson feeder school of their choice, and then moving out and getting grandfathered in all the way through Wilson? I thought that once you move OOB, you must register at your new in-bounds school, with the only exception being that you were already OOB?

Nothing would stop it, other than it is a PITA to do, and not inexpensive. This is a new policy -- just released in Jan 2017 via the handbook publication. It's too soon to see if what you describe is actually happening.

And, as the handbook states, "feeder patterns can be changed at any time."

Trying to get your kids to and from Murch/Eaton/Deal/Wilson wherever when you bought a more affordable home in Petworth/Brightwood/Bloomingdale AND you have to get yourself to and from work would make this really tough long term.

Not necessarily. Move near a Metro and once they are in 5th or 6th grade, they can easily commute on their own to Deal.
