If you think Ellington is going to remain at 500 students is a unrealistic.  Build it and they will come...best believe that one for sure.  Did they not say Eastern would only have 500 -700 at the most after renovations.  Here they are at over 1,000 and definitely need staggered arrival times.  You must realize is the lure of bring back those from the charter-school system back into Ellington, there's no comparable performing arts school at the Charter school level with a facility of the prominence. Pied piper effect will happen once the door is open.[/quote]

What is Ellington's enrollment model?  They turn DC kids away right now (even as they take kids from MD).[/quote]

It's an application school. The requirements are explained on the Ellington website.

http://www.ellingtonschool.org/admissions/application-process/

Involves recommendation letters, a short essay, an audition/portfolion review (varies depending on the student's discipline), an academic assessment and a family interview.[/quote]

In other words, it is a completely subjective process, so that the school and the board, under no supervision at all, can continue admitting whoever they want and for whatever reasons to their own taxpayer-funded private school.[/quote]
