[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone doing it for RM now. Nice family. Used to live in Grandma's house, but bought something upcounty. I don't know why they don't go to the school closer to home.  I didn't know they have moved until my DC told me. "Oh, his grandma still lives there, so that's why." [/quote]

This.  We know of two families that are doing this (attending a school out of bounds).  One girl used her aunt’s address, who does live in a condo.  And one uses a King Farm address to attend RM, though he actually lives elsewhere.  [/quote]

In both of those cases, the generation rate would be an OVERestimate for housing in the RM cluster, not an UNDERestimate. The girl is counted as living in her aunt's condo even though she doesn't. The boy is counted as living in King Farm (in whatever type of housing) even though he doesn't.[/quote]

I realize that.  Someone made a point that MCPS has certain projections about how many kids live in condos.  I was just pointing out that those projections may not always be useful.  [b]It’s likely that more kids will end up coming from those housing units than MCPS is projecting.[/b]  [/quote]

No, that's the point. If anything, it's likely that FEWER kids will end up coming from those housing units than MCPS is projecting. MCPS counts them as living there, even though they don't live there, because that's their address of record for MCPS.[/quote]
