[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's prompting the premise of the question?[/quote]

Covid hurt a lot of students academically so may be we are seeing fewer students capable of high level work. The real estate has skyrocketed too so may be more families are moving elsewhere.[/quote]

Do you have any data that suggests we're "seeing fewer students capable of high level work" or is it just speculation?

Basically every family moving out is being replaced by another family. There's actually a net increase of families in many areas (such as my neighborhood) because the empty-nesters are moving out to lower-cost-of-living areas and then families and/or developers are moving in (and upgrading the property, so these are generally higher-SES families, and higher-SES generally correlates with higher-performing students in the system). The reason the costs went up was supply and demand. If families weren't moving in to replace the ones leaving, the prices would drop. That's just not what's happening.[/quote]
