[quote=Anonymous]There isn't a comparable arts school in the suburbs. The arts instruction -- not necessarily the academics -- are outstanding at Ellington. That's why people apply from out of state. The Ellington school renovation budget is over budget (it isn't the only one). The school operating budget is not and, in addition, privately raised funds pay for 40% of what it costs to run the school. Personally i wish Ellington would become a regional school co-managed and funded by DC with any county that wants to chip in (like TJ High School which is a multi county consortium). Kids from every participating jurisdiction could apply and the most qualified can attend. Ellington raises grant money to pay to send their students on study trips. So your tax dollars weren't spent.
