[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sorry! I read your comment wrong. But my argument (to the OP) is still the same. If the argument is that either 2.0 is a clusterf*** and/or MCPS is going down the tubes (both things that certain people seem to want to claim here) and that the "proof" is that the wealthy parents who can afford private school are leaving en masse, I point to Bethesda to refute that. Bethesda real estate is generally more expensive on a sq ft basis than Potomac, and the SES is generally higher than Wootton, and yet there's no sign that people are yanking their kids out of MCPS en masse. The real estate market in Bethesda is soaring, families with young kids are moving in all the time, and nearly every school is overcrowded. More likely, any change has to do with commute times downtown than any perceived rejection of 2.0 or MCPS.[/quote]

I'm the OP. I have said this before but there isn't an issue with people not moving in with young kids. If there was less turn over for the housing or if the new developments were a senior assisted living community, it would make sense but that isn't the case. It may be that since the housing is not as expensive as Bethesda that people have more income for private school. This would have been true 8-10 years too.

Our school NEVER had an enrollment problem in the past. Our school is facing another year of only filling  2 classes in a grade. [/quote]
