[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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

bye[/quote]

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]

“Close the gap” is not an “in state tuition cap.” Also, the $10,000 isn’t adjusted for inflation and hasn’t been increased. So assuming your kids are young enough that you’d consider bailing on DCPS and moving elsewhere, the DCTAG program seems less appealing when you are trying to project years into the future.[/quote]

DC gets off cheap on higher ed.  I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations and most states spend way more than 10k per student per year on higher ed.  At the very least they could try to start an honors college at UDC ... [/quote]

Are you including what DC spends on UDC? (I actually think the TAG grants are federally funded.)

[/quote]

Yes, UDC is cheap! Very few DC students served by it as well. [/quote]
