[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this assumes growth will continue despite declining birth rates and federal meddling in the city.[/quote]

I don’t think growth will continue; in addition to declining birth rates, a lot of DC growth recently has been driven by international migration in, and that’s also probably not continuing.

That said, I think a lot of the coming collapse will be in the charter sector, so it’s possible DCPS locations will see at least a blip of growth when those kids move school. [/quote]

Could be. Or maybe they'll go to other underenrolled charters. I think historically it's been a real mixture of destinations and people don't just default to their neighborhood school. Or sometimes other charters step in and actively recruit or almost absorb. I think the Friendship Armstrong location did that back when City Arts and Prep closed, some years ago.

I think DCPS should be ready for change in either direction and wait and see how things shake out at the PCSB this cycle.[/quote]
