[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would suggest not risking it and here's why. Say your kids are lucky in the lottery, you get in to the school you choose (or maybe your rental is IB for what you want?) and you get past the initial residency verification. You are still not set...parents who have siblings on the wait list, neighbors who are on the list but not yet in, and school officials are still all potentially going to find out and ask you to leave the school. If this happens, your kids will have to leave their friends, leave what they know and start all over. Not to mention that it could be embarrassing for them socially. (There was a high school kid this fall who was pulled out of school for his parents residency fraud, and subsequently his entire football team was not allowed to compete for the remainder of the season.)

My child is 3 and would be very upset if we switched schools next year, so even if they are young this could have an impact. For your kids sake, go to school where you live, or to a private where you have no chance of being kicked out. All of the sought after schools in DC are very on top of this and your changes long term are not good. Paying tuition is only allowed if the school has open spaces, so this will likely not be an option.[/quote]
