[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the child is claiming DC residency. A child going to private school is not claiming DC residency.[/quote]

No, the child's custodial parent is claiming DC residency, and, in fact, the child's custodial parent is a full-year DC resident.  That's why the child can go to public school in DC for free.

It is the residency of the child's parents that determines where the child can attend public school for free.  The child's residency as nothing to do with it.  If the child slept at grandma's in MD 360 night nights a year, the child would still not be able to claim MD residency and go to public school for free there.

If the child has two 50-50 custodial parents who are residents of different states, the child has equally strong claims to a free education at the public schools of either state.

Also, from a practical perspective, when the child applies to UVA, the admissions office is going to assume that the child attended school in DC as a non-resident.
