Ellington students in 2011-12 came from the following wards:

Ward 1	Ward 2	Ward 3	Ward 4	Ward 5	Ward 6	Ward 7	Ward 8	No Ward Listed	MD	VA
36	15	19	96	75	48	74	70	16	54	11

The "no ward listed" kids are most likely foreign exchange students, which Ellington actively recruits.  So 81 out of 514 are not DC residents, or 14%.

According to this article, http://dcist.com/2012/05/dc_looks_into_non-residents_who_att.php , that year OSSE looked into non-residents who register to pay tuition. There were 198 registered, of them 126 didn't actually pay their tuition. So system-wide, 64% of the students who register to pay tuition don't actually pay tuition. And  the number of students who actually pay system-wide is smaller than the number registered at Ellington.

That's without even exploring whether $11,000 is a fair tuition for a school that is in the process of spending over $400,000 per student on a renovation. [/quote]
