[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.

Overall decreases won't make a dent in middle schools that feed from elementaries with long waitlists. Maybe the feeder waitlists may get smaller, but if there's still a waitlist, then there's still more demand than seats with room to spare. Mundo Verde excluded, of course. [/quote]
