[quote=Anonymous]Omg, way too many people on this thread have no idea wtf they are talking about.

OP - it is not a lie to put your current address for lottery purposes and rank your IB as your #1 choice. The issue is that if you do that and then move OOB before May, you will be screwing yourself over because if you can't provide CURRENT proof of an IB address in May, you will lose your IB preference and go to the back of the OOB line. The proof of address must be current - e.g., last paystub - you can't use documents from February/March to prove residency in May.

If you are reasonably certain that you are going to move before May, you could also put your new address and rank the new IB school in your list as your IB. No one is checking at the time of the lottery that you live there; you'd just have to prove residency by May. But you can use only one address to get IB, so you'd have to be pretty sure that the new place will work out or, once again, you will be screwed.

If the new place is near a charter or a DCPS without a boundary (e.g., Dorothy Height and Military Rd. ELC) you should rank those, as residency does not factor into preferences for those schools.[/quote]
