[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is true for schools you entered via lottery, but not if you're there as an IB student.

This is correct. If you get in through the lottery, you’re good forever.

If you are in as an IB student and move, you lose access to the feeder school (which checks out right? You [b]can’t[/b] live in a rental apartment inbound for Janney, move to the Hill when your kid is 4, and still claim rights to JR a decade later.

My understanding is that whether you’re able to stay at the school until the terminal grade is at the principal’s discretion.  [/quote]

Can’t! Sorry, typo. Fixed and bolded above. [/quote]

You actually can. Whether you're supposed to be able to has varied at different points but, at this moment, kids who are enrolled at a DCPS school can automatically enroll at its feeder and because no one at the school knows about/keeps track of how you got in, having originally gotten in IB and then switching your address to OOB is indistinguishable from kids who got in OOB. As a result, in practical terms, the feeder enrollment paperwork asks how you're eligible and if you tick the "attended a feeder" box and did attend the feeder, you're good to go. 100% no follow up.[/quote]
