They went to Paul Charter in DC for middle school and two privates for high school...still not seeing why the fuss about them going from private school to back to public...

Why is Mahki Mitchell’s hometown listed as District Heights, MD here:

District Heights is where BISHOP MCNAMARA is located....It was their high school at the time...just like VA kids go to Gonzaga... DC Kids go to Maryland Privates all the time...

Right right. Just so we all know, the hometown is accurate for private school kids but not accurate for public school transfers because the "Hometown" on the various sites are actually the location of their previous school. Mmmmmkay.

Which brings me back to the twins who just transferred from Florida. Shouldn't their hometown be in Florida, since that is the location of their previous school, instead of District Heights, MD?

Sounds like your issue is with whoever gathers the data for whatever site posted this information.

The issue with the Mitchell twins is figuring out if they live in-boundary.

As it stands, you cannot attend Wilson unless you live in-boundary or attend a feeder school (Deal, Oyster-Adams or Hardy). However, the feeder aspect doesn't work for high school transfers, only going from 8th to 9th grade. They don't accept any kids out of boundary due to being overcrowded.

So the issue is that these kids transfer back to the DC area and now all of a sudden live in Wilson's school zone, the most expensive school zone in DC, when they previously lived in Ward 7 the majority of their lives. And other players who transferred to Wilson in high school are being investigated as well.

There was no more personal information shared on here than you can't find a publicly accessible websites.
