[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those those discussing a handful of families committing residency fraud - how is that relevant to the question about the trajectory of the school? I don’t see how it is. If anything, the fact that people are willing to break the law and subject themselves to civil penalties speaks well of the school’s reputation ;)[/quote]

It contributes to the culture of the school. And the level of neighborhood / non-neighborhood feel.[/quote]

SP parent here. I really don't like the idea of people breaking the law and taking advantage of my tax dollars.

However, 10-11 kids across a school doesn't change the culture or feel. With some percentage of OOB kids anyway, whether they have a DC address or a Silver Spring address doesn't really make that big a difference. I agree that the school will have a better community once the in-bounds percentage goes up...but with regards to trajectory, that's exactly where it's going. You only need to look at what's happened in ECE and the lower grades in the past 3-4 years to see it.[/quote]

+1.  Not sure about upper grades since I don't have a kid there, but there's a great community feel in the lower grades.  Lots of spontaneous play dates, running into other families, etc. in the neighborhood.[/quote]
