[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't both of you know that APS's data can never be trusted? [b]They don't know what's happening over the next year. [/b]They didn't even survey most of the private school families that left. I should know. I was one of them. My kids are going back to their neighborhood schools in the fall. APS will find out when I enroll them again in the upcoming weeks.

APS has a rude awakening awaiting them.[/quote]

+1 to the bolded.  In normal years the reason that they base enrollment data on 30-Sep student population is that kids are still literally showing up at schools throughout that entire first month without having registered earlier.  Families who didn't know to register, families who just moved to the area, families who simply forgot.

The year my son was in 2nd grade they had to re-do class lists three days before school started because they had a handful of kids enroll at the last minute and they had to pull a teacher over from another school and rebalance the classes.  This wasn't kindergarten, this was second grade.  Our family stayed with APS this past year, but based on years past have no confidence in APS's ability to know for sure how many children will show up on day 1 at any given school.  This year could be even worse as families who had gone private or homeschooled wait until the last possible second to make a decision to ensure APS doesn't yank the rug out from under all of us with an 11th hour concurrent surprise or something.
