I am not following you.  When I look at the [url=http://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/Basic%20Statistics%20about%20DCPS%20Schools%2C%20SY2013-14_4.2.14.pdf]schools data chart from DME[/url], it looks like all the Deal feeders end at 5th grade.  None go to 6th or 7th.  So anyone following the feeder pattern will jump to Deal in 6th grade.  What am I missing?

Also, the sum capacity of all those feeders is 2804.  So 90% of half of that is 1261 (61 more than capacity).  Add in the 10% OOB set aside, and we're up to 1381.  And that's before any projected growth.

I'm still missing something, I suspect.[/quote]

Not PP, but I think what s/he means is all those schools have a PK year, and some have a PS year, so the kids-per-grade is smaller than your math indicates.[/quote]
