[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure about the assumption that all the kids at feeders will move on to Wilson.  At least in my Deal feeder neighborhood, it seems in the past twenty years to be moving from middle/upper middle class to more uniformly affluent.  I wonder if more people will have the means to send their kids to private in the next decade or so, which would mean fewer kids move on to Deal/Hardy and Wilson, at least as a proportion of kids at each feeder.  It may not completely relieve pressure, but perhaps mitigate some pressure.  Just a thought.[/quote]

If this was going to happen it would have already started - the enrollment crunch is upon us now which is why Deal now is maxed out on portables despite having already been expanded twice now in just 12 years.

And there are not enough seats at privates to handle the overflow and I have to assume the overcrowding will generate some more demand for those seats and likely higher prices at privates.  I'm not aware of any new private middle or upper schools or significant capacity increases.[/quote]
