[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are application high schools with Wait Lists allowing non-DC students to enroll?  Walls, Banneker

...and (Drum Roll Please) 53 students from Ellington!   [/quote]

I was wondering the same thing. [/quote]
Not only do non-DC residents not need to pay traffic tickets, they can pay tuition at a highly sought after school that claims  not to have enough space for residents.  I can understand the story of the oboe player that DC does not have and therefore they must open the doors and find it outside of the city  - but 50 students.  Please explain to me WHY that needs to occur? [/quote]

The Ellington boosters will be along momentarily to tell you it's tradition. [/quote]

It's no tradition, it's part of their contract with DCPS. They can have 10% of the student body be out of DC. They have never reached that percentage all the way. That amounts to maybe two students per department per grade. They've also been audited for the last 5 years by OSSE and are at 100% compliance, which means those 53 are paying tuition. [/quote]
