[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. A better reason is that these schools (like Janney) are actually superior to most (all?) suburban elementary schools. [/quote]

let's just keep our feet on the ground. my kids are at a JKLM elementary school and we love it, but thinking that people may trek all the way from VA to upper NW because our schools are superior to suburban elementary schools is just BS. I knew a family who cheated (found out years after the fact) taking their kids to upper NW schools and the did it because both parents worked in Tenley and it was convenient for them to drop off and pick up immediately before and after work. they had a long commute so they would have paid $$$ for before and after care and probably even a babysitter to pick up kids from aftercare.  the fact that the schools were good was also a great bonus, but they would have cheated even if the schools were comparable or even less good than the ones in their areas.  there will be cheaters until DCPS gets serious on enforcement, which is not just kicking kids out of the school, but also making them pay for back tuition ALWAYS, even if it takes years and years to get the entire payment.  now cheaters are simply kicked out, so for people who are dishonest there is no incentive not to try (at worst they are just kicked out).

It seems that all Janney needs to do is to monitor the drop-off lane and then start asking questions of the families whose kids arrive in cars with Maryland license plates.[/quote]
