[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still intrigued about Nottingham only having 50 kindergarteners this year.  91 1st graders and similar class sizes for older grades. Makes Nottingham a target. Tuckahoe has 94 kindergarteners.[/quote]

Super weird.  Contrast that with Ashlawn's 122 and McKinley's (insane) 143 and the cascading boundaries makes sense.[/quote]

What's weird about it? There is a limited number of young families that can afford a $1.5 million "starter" home. The families there now with school aged children aren't going to move somewhere else for 20 years. It's a pretty clear sign to me that student generation and housing prices are very connected, and that in the coming years we'll see fewer new students from the wealthiest areas. Also explains why south Arlington needs another high school. Not just because the county board insists on building subsidized family housing along the same 1 mile stretch of the western pike, but because even UMC families can't afford to live in north Arlington, and are having kids in pentagon city condos instead.

This. You also find more townhomes and duplexes in SA which is equally accessible compared to million dollar homes in NA.[/quote]
