Who established that?  Certainly not true.  And, at any rate, is that the argument?  Because there are several other development projects currently going on an Twinbrook and one more in the planning stages.  There have been several apartment buildings put up there which has absolutely let To an increase in students - check out th bus stops in the morning.  There is currently a luxury townhouse development going up where the Sums building used to be.  Plus another apartment complex is being planned for further up Twinbrook Parkway.

So, maybe less than a hundred kids for each project, but add them up and if leads to a significant increase to the student body.  To an already overcrowded school.  [b]With zero plans to open a new MS or HS in that area[/b]. [/quote]

What's the high school at Crown, chopped liver?

As for how many kids, you can do the math. Assume that it's all high-rise development. 0.055 elementary-school students per unit, 0.022 middle-school students per unit, 0.031 high-school students per unit. In other words, 55 elementary-school, 22 middle-school, and 31 high-school students per 1,000 units.[/quote]

MCPS has admitted the rates they used for RM have historically been much, much lower than the real numbers.

Crown hasn't even started yet. I don't trust the County or MCPS to begin building on time. They will defer it for at least 1-2 years (just like Bayard Rustin was deferred. Just like renovations at Twinbrook have been delayed so often that it's no longer in the CIP.) No plans have been announced for HOW Crown will actually solve a problem - or which problem it will attempt to solve. Saying "Crown is coming" doesn't mean much.
