[quote=Anonymous]DC has an Office of Planning whose job it is to do population projections, it's their numbers that are in the Master Facilities Plan and that Matt Frumin is quoting. OOP is projecting 45% growth in the under-18 population of DC in the next 10 years. DCPS doesn't have it's own OOP (yet). The big question mark from the projections is how many kids will choose to attend public schools, and specifically DCPS public schools. The under-18 population of DC actually declined slightly from 2000 to 2010, the only ward that saw an increase was Ward 3. The increase in DCPS enrollment -- and more dramatically, in total public school enrollment -- of the past few years are more about increased participation in public education that population increases. The next decade should prove to be completely different though. [/quote]
