I'm the pp to you. I was just explaining why I thought there was no Lemon Road B team. I'm not trying to turn it into anything. Threads go off on tangents all of the time. My child goes to Churchill Road so I don't care a bit about Lemon Road. Churchill Road rocked division B Science Olympiad this year! |
The fact that the OP did not state such a situation makes me wonder if one of the two schools should be watching their enrollment paperwork very carefully. |

We are from another pyramid that performed well at SO state. Longfellow dominated and did an exceptional job, as did many of the more experienced elementary schoolw.
Haycock was not at the top but they were right in the thick of things with the other high performing elementaries. They did a job to be proud of, especially given that they were competing against middle schools. |
You've got to be kidding, right? She wanted to know about the schools, not brief you on her individual circumstances. Both CR and Haycock have many students whose parents had a choice where to send them. |
| One parent might live in ine school boundary the other parent lives in the other school boundary. Simple as that. |
Still doesn't make sense. If Joint Legal custody, where the parents share care and control of the upbringing of the child, the child has only one primary residence. In Shared Physical Custody the child has two residences, spending at least a major portion their time with the other parent, but the child still need one primary residence, can't change school every 90 days. Also if changing primary residence for the child attending the better school, then need go through the divorce court system to change the custody agreement. No easy legal solution. |
I know plenty of couples with shared custody that choose the "better" school district for their kids. Why are you so obsessed with this? Who cares? For all you know, OP is looking at houses in 2 the 2 different boundaries. It's none of your business. |
She explicitly stated that she is not moving...just choosing schools. I suspect she is planning on using the addresses of friends. |
Come on. You Haycock people have been pretty calm lately. Let's not let the crazy out of the bag after it has been going so well for so long.

ITA. Nor do I think most parents at either school would feel the need to get into someone's personal business like this. |
I'm the PP who initially mentioned Lemon Road (and my children don't attend any of these schools so I don't have a dog in this fight). And yes, that was exactly my point. |
I wonder how compelling that point is. Judging from this thread, the reviews of LRES AAP so far are mixed. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/385441.page |
Some parents are so paranoid. It's clear that a family is slated to a certain center if their child does not have a LLIV program at the base school. Given that, if another nearby school offers LLIV, then that family can have their child attend that school as along as they have a valid reason (child care/working parent) but the family would have to transport the child to that school since bus service would not be offered. People here need to take a chill pill and stop assuming the worst of others. |
The person who wrote the above is clearly the worst of those who surf here. So sad. |
Actually, the OP's silent on the "valid" reason makes some to assume the worst. Those two schools both are AAP centers, and no overlapping at all to warrant a child with options to pick/choose. If someone telling you that their DC can go FCPS or APS legally by their choice, what will you think? |
