[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also heard 700 freshman today.....[/quote]

What are the other class sizes? (Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors?) Isnt that number going skyrocket in Fall 2021? I have always hear that 2007 was a huge bible of kids.[/quote]

For the last few years its been 400-450. That's why the 700 number makes no sense. I still don't believe it. [/quote]

Some data to add to the discussion.

In 2017-18 the Wilson feeders had a combined 631 students enrolled in 8th grade (Adams 66/Hardy 112/Deal 453) and in 2018 there were 478 9th graders at Wilson (so ~153 rising 8th graders chose some other option for 9th grade -- and yes there were probably new to DCPS students registering for 9th grade).

In 2018-19 the Wilson feeders had a combined 733 students enrolled in 8th grade (Adams 69/Hardy 139/Deal 525).

And this is just the tip of the iceburg.  The classes hitting Deal and Hardy in a few years are doing to dwarf the ones currently there.  [/quote]

Maybe. Probably? Or the same rate of attrition from 8th to 9th may continue. Last year (18-19) fully 25% of students who could have gone to Wilson did not.

So before we get hysterical about this year's freshman class, perhaps we should wait to see the actual number. I recall people freaking out this time last year declaring that the 9th grade would have 600 kids ... and it did not materialize. [/quote]
