[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 11:41. But my perception is that most in upper NW are not moving to the suburbs, as many here think. [/quote]

yeah, I don't know anyone moving to the suburbs.  MCPS and Fairfax are an unknown for next year as well.  They can't be counted on to be in-person either.

I have a rising 9th grader and the vast majority of kids I know (I'd say 90% out of 25 kids I know in DCPS?) applied to private/Catholic high school.  Many got in, many did not do so won't be as much of 
an exodus as it may have been, had there been more spots.  But no one wants their kids to start high school on Zoom and the Catholic high schools are relatively affordable and it's only 4 years. 
So people applied en masse.  Our Deal teachers said they wrote recs for almost everyone or it sure felt that way.

My other kid is a rising 6th grader and there was far fewer applications at this age. 1) there are less spots to move to 2) no-one wants to plan on moving their kid twice and if you move for 6th, your'e looking
at 7 years of private which is a huge commitment (vs. 4 for high school).  So far more (ourselves included) will just ride out it out in DCPS for next year.
