It is easily established that there are a lot of non-DC kids at Ellington.

There are ten neighborhood high schools in DC. Every address in DC is in-boundary for one of those ten schools. On the DME website there is a document that shows where the kids who are in-boundary for each school actually go. That document is at: http://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/Appendix%20B_Boundary%20Participation%20Data%20Tables_DRAFT_Policy%20Brief_3.pdf

Here are the in-boundary high schools that the Ellington kids come from: 
Anacostia 77 
Ballou	53 
Cardozo	45 
Coolidge	37 
Dunbar	36 
Eastern	31 
Roosevelt	69 
Springarn 42 
Wilson	66 
Woodson	17

Total	473

According to the DCPS website ( http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/ ) the enrollment of Ellington is 541. That means there are 68 kids, or 13%, at Ellington who are not in-boundary for any DCPS school. They live in Maryland and Virginia, mostly Maryland.
