[quote=Anonymous][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]

Baltimore has an arts high school. MCPS and FCPS don't.

It's kinda like the OOB process. DC students have to be taken first - but if there is room in the drama program, for example,  they will take a student with the talent from another jurisdiction and OSSE collects tuition. You need decent grades but you also need a portfolio/talent/arts experience. The arts block isn't a joke.[/quote]

So no slots are taken from DC residents?   In any case $10,000 a year can't possibly cover even the operating costs at a specialized school like this with so few students and with this renovation any fair division of costs should see tuition for OOB students triple.

I also hope someone vigorously investigates the documentation for students to make sure no one is cheating - it happens at a lot of DC schools so its surely happening here as well.[/quote]
