I think you are going to start to see a new type of upper NW parent dynamic.  In the old days the ultra liberals stayed and sent their kids to Deal and Wilson with a high tolerance for DCPS mediocrity. The rest of upper NW moved to Bethesda or went private.  It's changing.   Now the parents who would have moved to Bethesda are staying and scraping nickels and dimes together to buy tiny 1940 colonials and many are not going private.  Many are planning to send their kids to Deal and Wilson in a few years, but these parents will not tolerate overcrowding or kids who are unprepared or disruptive.  DCPS needs to get out in front of this because the pipeline will burst in about 5 years.  [/quote]

There is very little that is going to change within 5 years. Hardy will likely become a bit more inbound and maybe MacFarland and Roosevelt will satisfy a bit of the EotP demand for Deal and Wilson. But, those will be marginal differences at best. The next boundary evaluation isn't planned until 2022 and then implementation would probably not be immediate. The parents you describe can say they will not tolerate this or that, but I'm not sure they are going to have a lot of options to change things.
