[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Lafayette parent, seriously considering a move to Bethesda or Arlington. I think the school pyramid we are in is only “adequate” for high school, there’s a lot of chatter about moving us to Wells/Coolidge, and there is no appealing public university in DC.[/quote]

you don't sound like a real parent.

in-state tutiton cap outside of dc works

there is no “in state tuition cap” for DC residents. You don’t know what you’re talking about. [/quote]

Are you not familiar with the DCTAG program? It provides up to a $10,000 per year scholarship to close the gap between in-state and out-of-state tuition. And it is not means tested (I mean, it is, but at $1 million).[/quote]

Of course I know about TAG - but it's not an "in state tuition cap."  DC residents pay full out-of-state tuition in MD and VA.  TAG is only $10,000 still leaves you with a big out-of-state tuition bill, because the difference between in-state and out-of-state at flagship publics is about 25k-30k.  [/quote]

This.  10k is nothing considering huge difference between in state and out.  Better to move to VA or MD or whatever state schools you are considering than 10k which is not even guaranteed.  I also suspect that there are preferences given with the 10k.[/quote]
