[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is a student that lives in Ward 3 but chooses to go to another school in Ward 3 considered out of boundary? Is out of boundary a bad thing? Is there something unique about inboundary students? Is OOB code for something?[/quote]

In the literal meaning of OOB, a student attending any DCPS other than their zoned school is OOB, even ward 3 going to another ward 3 school. Practically, though, no one would do that -- the schools west of the park aren't different enough to justify the increased commute. So most people OOB at the WOTP schools are commuting from less affluent areas. So it's code for someone less well off and, often, a different race than the IB kids (i.e. black).[/quote]

Is this just a bad joke?

I know OOB ward 3 resident in ward 3. Their kids got in Murch through the lottery and the family moved to Janney area after all, but decided to keep the kids at Murch. [/quote]

There are also many [b]Hyde-Addison IB families as OOB[/b] at Stoddert. [/quote]

Um, no. There are H-A IB families attending Stoddert using addresses of properties (condos) they own or where kids' grandparents live, before they moved to bigger 4-story townhouses in  Georgetown proper. They are not OOB at Stoddert as Stoddert takes very, very few OOB.[/quote]

No. I'm not.

You are wrong. They are OOB and got in thanks to the lottery. [/quote][/quote]
