[quote=Anonymous]Though nobody knows for sure when the city will revisit school feeder patterns again, it is likely that they will not be able to wait over 40 years to do so again. Deal is becoming increasingly crowded due to lack of other options, and a rise in the number of families wishing to stay in the District will only exacerbate the situation. Therefore, it stands to reason that the city will need to further restrict the number of elementaries that feed Deal. Assuming these dynamics continue, when would another round of reassignment take place: 10 years from now? 20? And which schools would likely be reassigned? Would it be Shepherd and/or Bancroft because they are east of the park? Or, in the event of a strong objection by these neighborhoods, would Lafayette be implicated also because they are in Ward 4 too?

Please note that I currently rent and don't have kids yet. I'm just trying to get a feel for how overcrowding and increases in the child-age population will play out given the charged political dynamics around the subject of school feeder patterns before I spend what will probably be at least a million dollars on a 'starter' house in one of these neighborhoods in 10 years.
