[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live in Takoma, DC on the DC/MD line and mostly love. No one checks your passport in Takoma Park. Have a charming bungalow, but our street is loud, so we have only started porch-sitting during COVID. Kids are in an excellent walkable charter school, but IB MS/HS is a bid of a cluster-f.[b] If we strike out in the lottery, we might rent a studio in Takoma Park, and airbnb our house to utilize TPMS/Blair. We would have to do the math on how many nights we would need to stay in the studio to claim in-state status. [/b]Takoma, DC still has a lot of boomers, but there are tons of young families, too.

If you're considering that, why not just rent in boundary for Wilson/JR? Legally you could live in boundary for the first month of 9th grade, then move home and keep your enrollment until graduation. Many people on DCUM find that policy loop hole distasteful, but still better than actual residency fraud and/or moving a family of teens into a studio.[/quote]

TPMS + Blair have so many more opportunities like their top-rated magnet programs. [/quote]

Yeah what if you can’t get into the magnet? Regular Blair versus Wilson/JR? If OP is in a charter now, they’re not going to be viable candidates for MCPS magnets.[/quote]

I looked it up and for my kid's cohort Blair has the highest average SATs of any HS in Moco, and before you say that's the magnet it isn't since that's 's mostly Asian. Also, anyone who meets the pre-reqs can take the rigorous magnet courses in the 11th and 12th grades.[/quote]
