No. Millions of kids get moved between schools all the time and turn out just fine. If they aren't residents they need to go. Period. Plus, based on what was observed, 40 percent of their friends might be coming with back to their i

This seemes very Trumpy to me.

The school is almost entirely black and government statistics indicate that few of the students live in the neighborhood. Poor test scores have left neighborhood parents feeling they can’t use their own school, and must pay for private education or enroll their children in a more distant public school."

I don't think that accurately represents the L-T demographics, the current reputation of L-T, or the legitimate OOB system. It also seems to be trying to drive a pretty ugly racial/class wedge.

What's the commuter route from MD to L-T? The neighborhood demographics of L-T is not predominantly white. What am I missing in this awful reporting. There are so many lies or misinformation, such as in-state tuition to any state school, one has to wonder what the blogger got right.

Ward 6 was of 2010, 49% white, 41% black (it was majority black in 2000). The trend continues as Home values near LT start at 500k.

If you ever came over to the Hill on a weekday morning, you would notice the large volume of MD plated cars speeding through on MD Ave., PA Ave., C & H Streets, coming from Route 50, NY Abe, Bladensberg, 295, etc.

These parts of the article are absolutely true.

The article states that the area is all white, and the Black kids are all from Maryland. So where should the 41% of the Black kids attend school. And what's stopping the 49% of white kids from attending their inbound school. The author basically stated that white folks can't send their kids to school with all those black kids. The horror.

You are perhaps unaware that there is a significant difference in demographics between all of ward 6 and the people who live IB for LT.

You think LT's boundaries are 100% white?

In terms of families with young children, yes.

where the hell are you pulling that out of? there are plenty of african american families in those census tracts, the housing project for starters. plus as other posters have noted, past PK it is the white parents' decision not to enroll so the mythical MD families have nothing to do with it.

Hardly. The "no" poster is right. If once there, a kid stays forever, then there is zero deterrent. People just get sneakier about getting around the "crackdown" (however that might be done), but with a newly-enhanced certainty that they get to stay. In such a system, you might have to chest more cleverly, but the rewards cone with s guarantee.

Plus two glaring errors that even I, a Maryland resident with kids in Maryland schools - know to be false - that the Ludlow-Taylor neighborhood is "mostly white" and that DC residents get in-state tuition. I look forward to more inaccurate race acting for the rest of the series.

I haven't read the article but I have lived IB for L-T for 14 years. The neighborhood has changed a lot over the years and is definitely majority white at this point. There are still homes on every block owned by African Americans, but most of them are elderly. The IB population of elementary aged kids is mostly non-AA at this point (not necessarily white since there are a lot of Asian and Indian families). I know a few AA families with kids, but the statement is accurate if you consider only the school age population.

FWIW, you don't have to live in housing projects to be of African, or AA descent. The imposition is wildly offensive. When you see me at school in Sept, leer at me and my son, we live inbounds.

yes, I know that. But the idiot posting here is going to assume if you don't live there, you live in MD. I was just trying to point out that the area is not 100% white. I think that building is for seniors anyway.

Do you even live here? Because you would be aware that the principals of the schools named are NOT African American.

I do live here. 20 years now with a kid starting in pk3 this fall. There are cheaters at probably every DCPS and charter school in DC. Every one of them. The racist leadership does not want to do anything about it.

No, they should be removed forthwith from the DC school. They will learn an early an valuable lesson on the consequences of cheating. As for their parents, they should be prosecuted for fraud and made to pay back tuition (with court costs and interest) for the years that their child(ren) attended DCPS or charters illegally.

Question: can't issues of residency be solved by cross-checking other government databases? For example, why doesn't DCPS cross-check the homestead tax exemption and property tax records? And DC taxes?

Wouldn't this type of cross checking go a long way to establishing residency in most circumstances?

That would be too logical. There is simply little poltical will to deal with this problem.

My child's school is one of the ones mentioned in the article. I know of 3 kids in his class who live in MD. They have their birthday parties in pg county, parents drive cars with MD plates, have md phone numbers, etc. They've been at the school for 5 years. There's just no desire by administraton to deal with this.
