[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What GGW does not grasp is that all of these numbers are typical DCPS gobbledygook and cannot be taken seriously. Yes some areas are overcrowded but on a more detailed level this is all crap data.[/quote] Yes and no. The population projections themselves come from Office of Planning, which if anything has proven to be conservative over the past ten years. Taking the projections and assigning them out to individual schools was done by the DME staff. You might argue about how many kids they put at each school, but they had to account for every kid in the projections. Note that they've got DCPS growing more slowly than the youth population as a whole and charters and privates taking up the slack in unexplained ways, yet still DCPS ends up full. I think that's the real story. [/quote]
