Default Kimberly going to school

I been watching the show for a really long time but I just thought of this recently. If Kimberly goes to eastland the same school as the facts of life does she live at the school or live at home? There episodes where it's a school day and she at home eating breakfast. Also you never see her wearing her uniform except the first episode I think. If she went to that school wouldn't she live at the school during the week so she wouldn't be there for breakfast or at least see her in her uniform?

Kimberly went to Eastland early in the series but then transitioned to public school in NYC

When Kimberly was attending Eastland, she was living in the dorm during the week, but on the weekends, she was at home with her family in Manhattan. Eastland was in Peekskill, NY.

Eastland was in Peekskill. Kimberly lived in Manhattan. Do you have any idea how far Peekskill is from Manhattan? It's about 45 miles.

14 year olds don't drive.

Kimberly lived at Eastland during the week, and on the weekends, she came home to Manhattan.

Not yet, Solomon. She was still at Eastland during season three. She and Tootie talk about how great it is when their private school starts the new year later than other schools as Willis had to start school in that pot episode.

In the beginning, Kimberly did get to stay at school during the week but later started to come home after school so it is assumed that the limo would take her home.

I'm so glad someone else remembers that Kimberly did indeed live at Eastland during the week and came home on weekends.
