[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends.  The long-term data is that there will be less demand for MS seats in the next 5-10 years. This means that if you have a kid in kindergarten or younger, you have a good chance of getting into any MS you want, including DCI. Some MS are likely to consolidate as well. [/quote]

LOL!  This might be true in DCPS middle schools but not in the charter middle schools that are in high demand EOTP.  The seats are getting more competitive as more middle class families stay in the city thru elementary and then need a decent middle school.

I wound agree that all the poorly performing under-enrolled DCPS middle and high schools should consolidate and stop wasting taxpayers money after they already wasted billions on renovations which did nothing to attract more families.[/quote]

LOL! The data does not support your "strong and wrong" opinion, actually. https://www.dcpolicycenter.org/publications/enrollment-decline/. MS seats will be easier to get in 5-10 years based on current projections - and that is everywhere in the city. This is actually good news for parents of young ES students and should create less churn.

I just don't think it's that accurate to do population and in-migration stuff so many years out. And this is just some random policy paper, not actually the work of the school district.

Please, tell us specifically which middle schools you believe will consolidate.[/quote]

Yikes - OSSE and the DCPCSB have both cited this report, as did the boundary commission - irrespective of whether you personally think "it's accurate to do population and in-migration stuff so many years out" - that is kind of what DC and states do all over the country....[/quote]

It’s just a random policy paper so feel feee to believe what you want.

Sure you will get any MS seat you want.  It’s hilarious the naïveté of ECE and lower elementary parents.  Ask me how I know.[/quote]

+1. It's one source they refer to, among many. They don't endorse everything in it. And the source says if, if, if, nothing certain. [/quote]
