in all seriousness - they do not even need to be there for 6 months.
I know a family that rented IB for Janney for 3 months. During that time they enrolled their oldest child in the school. 2 years later, the younger sibling was enrolled.
Yep, if it was due to a house remodel I know the family too.
yep, they are infamous.
They rented for 3 months while their 1.5 million dollar house across the park was renovated.
They enrolled a 1st grader and lived in the neighborhood for 2 months. Kid stayed at Janney until graduation 4 years later. Enrolled the second child 2 years later and 6 years later child is about to graduate.
Sum total of time spent living in AU park? 2 months. Years at Janney? 11
Well, at least they (presumably) paid DC taxes and probably had the principal's approval. That's far less annoying than people coming in from MD, right?
Nobody cares about DC families doing it. Nobody even checks if the apartment number exists or it's janitor's closet.
People do care. It is white entitlement. If it was a family that had darker skin, would the school be as likely to say yes and put the kids in 2 classes that were already at capacity? It took 2 real OOB spots off the table to families that do not have the means to pay to live in the neighborhood for 3 months.
