[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone applied to LAMBS PCS from outside DC, moving in-district after the lottery?  My family is moving to DC in the summer, and this is our one chance to get into the school, but we won't have a local address until we get there, obviously.[/quote]

You need to provide an address on the application. I would suggest applying anyway. [b]If you get in and are not a DC resident you will [/b]have to pay tuition to attend. If you get in and move to DC in the summer, your child attends tuition-free. If you don't get in, well, none of this matters anyway.[/quote]

She will not get in if she is not a DC resident.  There are too many DC residents trying to enter their children into LAMB.  Tuition spots can only be provided if there are no DC residents interested in the spot.  However, on a positive note, a non-resident can apply for a lottery slot.  If the non-resiendt is selected in the lottery, they must provide proof of DC residency at the time of registration.  I personally know of a couple who applied to one of the immersion charters while living in illinois.  once their child won a lottery seat in the school, the family moved to the city and rented.

i know another couple who sold their house in maryland and moved into the city once their child was awarded a lottery slot in one of the immersions.  so, PP can apply while living out of state, but must prove residency upon admission.  [/quote]
