[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly what change in student demographics are posters referring to?[/quote]

There hasn’t been any.[/quote]

My kids are past the elementary stage, so I have a longer view on the demographics. They are changing. Original owners (primarily in Tanterra and the sliver of Olney mill that feeds into the school) who hung onto houses for a long time kept classroom size very low for many years. Then as houses started to sell, the school numbers started to tick up. Another poster spoke of class size being too big. My older kids had 20 or less in their classrooms for many years. Since anyone can follow the year at a glance stats, you can see the demographic shift.

People who have lived in Olney/Brookeville for decades/generations are talking about the shift. Crime is up. [/quote]

Are criminals buying the the 700k homes in Tanterra? Are these the poors to you?[/quote]

No.  Some of the homes are being bought by absent landlords, who then rent the homes out to multiple families.  Often without a rental license and often renting the homes illegally.  So you end up having multiple families, with multiple kids living in a home where previously there were no kids.

This has been happening all over Montgomery County, and has now spread to Olney.  [/quote]
