[quote=Anonymous]"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. "

It's possible that enrollment in your school is being affected by 2.0, as you have observed, but it's also possible that you don't have a complete picture of the population in your neighborhood. Maybe your street has lots of kids, but the next development is aging out of elementary school. I have lived in several neighborhoods in Bethesda, and in both I have seen big shifts of older residents moving out, and families with children moving in. It can vary block by block depending on housing stock.

Although I know kids in private school, no one has told me they're moving because of C2.0. That's just my anecdotal report from Bethesda, for what it's worth.[/quote]
