[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you listen to the budget workshop from today, they say enrollment is down in every grade except 10 and 11. Who knows how long that will last and/or will it get worse?[/quote]

I think it will get worse, at least for a while. I'm a current MoCo resident that had been preparing to move to one of a few Wootton feeding neighborhoods that I liked, but I had to change course and move outside the County instead.

Some of the neighborhoods I was looking at got pushed out of my price range at the 11th hour. I expected prices to increase, but not jump as hard as they have in the last few months.

There's other neighborhoods that I like which I can just barely afford, even with insane prices, but they are at significant risk of getting redistricted to schools that I'm not okay with.

A perceptive person earlier in this thread said "you buy the house, not the school", which is true. But [b]if you gamble on boundaries and lose, your kids are the ones who lose out[/b]. If you look at which areas are seeing growth, you'll find very good schools where this is not an issue.[/quote]

Meaning: your kids might have to go to a school with more poor kids.
