Here's the full list of the 23 MCPS elementary schools inside the Beltway (2021-22 data). 15 of the 23 (65%) are under capacity. Burning Tree: over capacity, FARMS 7% Wyngate: under capacity, FARMS <5% Bradley Hills: under capacity, FARMS <5% Bannockburn: over capacity, FARMS <5% Wood Acres: under capacity, FARMS <5% Bethesda: over capacity, FARMS 16% North Chevy Chase: under capacity, FARMS 26% Chevy Chase: under capacity, FARMS 22% Somerset: under capacity, FARMS 15% Woodlin: over capacity (currently under construction), FARMS 33% Rosemary Hills: under capacity, FARMS 33% Rock Creek Forest: over capacity, FARMS 30% Sligo Creek: under capacity, FARMS 14% East Silver Spring: under capacity, FARMS 54% Takoma Park: under capacity, FARMS 28% Piney Branch: under capacity, FARMS 34% Oak View: over capacity, FARMS 71% Highland View: over capacity, FARMS 40% Roscoe Nix: under capacity, FARMS 73% Joann Leleck: over capacity, FARMS 87% Montgomery Knolls: under capacity, FARMS 49% New Hampshire Estates: under capacity, FARMS 89% Rolling Terrace: under capacity, FARMS 83% "Under capacity" bolded. And it was silly reasoning to begin with - the idea that Montgomery County must be affordable for families, because there are families who live in Montgomery County.

The fact that it's in the US, which has prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy, union-busting, "trickle-down economics", wealth extraction, and privatized profits and socialized losses, over investments in social well-being, for the last 40+ years. |

You are really a massive and disingenuous liar that wastes your own and everyone else’s time. Congratulations. Just picking the very first school you claim is under capacity. Wyngate ES capacity was recently increased in 2017 from 412 to 711 due to overcrowding. The most recent enrollment report for 21-22 says it has an enrollment of 701. So it is at full capacity. Congratulations on being a lying buffoon on the internet to prove meaningless points. |

To echo the PP, I do wonder why someone would waste their own time to create blatant lies. For example, Bethesda ES has been overcapacity for over a decade despite having an addiction added in 2015. Somerset ES then also become over capacity. MCPS concluded a boundary study for a those three ESs (along with Westbrook) to balance enrollment. One outcome of that study was that MCPS no longer plans to add a second addition to Bethesda ES and instead plans to add another addition to Westbrook to handle future enrollment increases that would take Bethesda and Somerset over capacity again. MCPS similarly plans to use Nix to handle overcapacity issues at Leleck. In fact, enrollment growth in the ESs inside the Beltway have been so strong that about half the schools have had additions after being chronically over crowded for years. Wyngate is a good example. Bradley Hills too. The PP is not only lying but trying a variation of the “it’s so crowded no one goes there anymore” routine. Families can afford it because families are doing it every day. While people without kids are lying about it on the internet. What a world. |

DP, but 701 is before 711 on my number line. Not sure which one you are using. Where’s the lie again? |

Somerset ES enrollment, 2021-2022: 434 Somerset ES capacity: 516 Is Somerset ES over capacity? |

| There's also the whole idea that Somerset is affordable, as demonstrated by the ability of families with a lot of money to afford it... |

You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about and love to pretend that you do. Read the boundary study. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/departments/planning/BethesdaSomersetWestbrookESBoundaryStudy.pdf |

Was Somerset ES over capacity in 2021-22, which is the most recent year for MCPS at-a-glance data? |

You so easily shift from lying about school capacity to pretending that only one school exists in the entire county. |

Here is what the PP (you?) said:
However, it is not true that every single elementary school inside the Beltway is overcrowded. In fact, the majority of elementary schools inside the Beltway are under capacity. |

Your insistence on refusing to read the boundary study before pretending that you know what you’re talking about is truly troubling. Facts and truth don’t matter to you. Pretty sad but also I find a common trait of your types. Just the worst combination of arrogance and inveterate liar imaginable. |
