[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously though, how many non-DC kids attend Ellington? It completely baffles my brain that even one kid who doesn't reside in DC can attend DCPS's most selective school.

They pay tuition. My friend's kid did this from MD as she was a very talented performer. I think it's 10K a year.[/quote]

OK, but again - WHY? Maryland doesn't have good arts programs? I find that hard to believe. It's a DCPS school....why is anyone attending the most selective school in the District who doesn't live here? It's makes zero sense.[/quote]

I assume because it keeps the bar very high. By opening its doors to the most talented kids in the region, it is able to be selective enough to keep the quality very high while still filling seats, I suppose. I do know when my friend's kid applied they told her that the out of state kids were only considered when there were still spaces available after DC kids were admitted.

Personally, I don't think it's a bad thing. I [/quote]
