Renting but not occupying for DCPS in-boundary residency purposes?

[Anonymous]

I have a question that’s kinda on topic. I saw in the Hyde thread that a lot of military parents send their kids there. How does that work? They aren’t in boundary and are, in fact, quite a bit away.

Is it easier to get into schools OOB as the kids get older?

For some schools, yes. Look at the lottery data at MSDC.

For military families there is a special 'chancellors' rule that allows military kids to enroll at any time (e.g. outside the lottery) assuming there is space at a school.

^ thank you.

We are military and I was so confused as to why so many kids went to Hyde.

You have to agree to a home visit. By signing the form. I have never given anyone permission to come into my home and never will.

OP: Rent a two-bedroom apartment IB of the school you want your DD to attend. Smaller units are not factored into the calculation of school capacity, so if you rent a cheap efficiency, you wont't be as entitled to the IB spot you'll be taking. It will still be less than what you are paying for private school. I agree that it's nobody's business where you child spends the night.
