a lot of them go back to PG county where they live.

Lots can be said about TR. This isn't one of their issues.

that’s not what I heard … most Hill charters in NE have MANY MD plates at drop-off because they are on the commuting route from PG …

But what percent of those involve co-parents where one lives in the district or are kids who live at least part time with a grandparent (where the grandparent lives in MD but custodial parent is in DC, or where the grandparent lives in DC and has custody of the child a significant amount of time). He really at least one of these things are true and none of these cases would be considered residency fraud because the child is a resident of DC at least some of the time.

There’s a lot of residency fraud.

I genuinely don't think there's a lot of residency fraud at TR.

then you are very naive, particularly with the need for TR to keep seats filled.

I'm not naive. I actually think my kids' school has a fair amount of residency fraud and know for a fact that another child in my daughter's class does not live on our one block street as he claims to. I don't think it's a big issue at TR, though it could become one as the struggle to fill increases and they might "accidentally" let standards slip (like what happened at Miner back in the day).

PG families can tell TR isn't any good, that's why.

Looking at last year's FAR, they weren't in bad shape (this is for FY 2022). It's kind of hard to interpret because of the loan. But cash on hand is good at 86 days. Salaries and occupancy are a tad high, student costs and general expenses (whatever that is) are a tad low relative to sector median. FY 2022 was the first year that net assets decreased-- by $1.4 million. It will be very interesting to view this year's FAR, and to see if total enrollment actually falls short or if they manage to recruit enough to fill the seats. It's interesting to observe a school that's at a tipping point.
