[quote=Anonymous]+1.  It's not difficult to switch school systems if you get the necessary residency docs, register/apply for schools and magnets by MoCo. deadlines, and file the relevant Federal and state tax returns covering the school years in question.

I just wouldn't advertise your transition to other parents or school officials at either end in the event that busy bodies claim you're not justified in the timing/sequencing of your switch.  You are, so no need to swing open the door to interference.  Only the FBI can check where your family sleeps every night.  But if you're coming out of DCPS or DC Charter, where there are no G/T programs, and have an advanced learner, I'd cover your bases with Johns Hopkins CTY testing and summer programs and other supplemental work, which you carefully document,including by collecting recommendations from instructors outside DC public schools.  In our experience, MoCo administrators will work with you if you do this and your kid qualifies for advanced middle school work in their system.
