[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Cold Spring ES has a capacity of 460. It has a total enrollment of only 350. Worse, because it is a CES location, something like 100 of those students are out of the boundary area. So only about 250 students even come from the boundary itself. That means parents with elementary-school-age children are not buying there. When they do get older and go to Cabin John, they stay with the kids from Stone Mill ES at least when they then move on to Wootton. So it seems that there is trouble selling in this neighborhood for the elementary school at least, though many factors play into that. At least they have had a little bit of a cohort that stays together through high school.[/quote]

Cold Spring here. Most of our neighborhood are original owners or those who bought in the 80s/90s. Interest rates almost certainly locking owners in. Anticipate it’ll turn over in the next 5 yrs. [/quote]
This is also happening in my RPES neighborhood.  In the past 3 years, 3 of our long timer neighbors  literally around my house have moved. The people who moved in all have young kids. When we first moved here, we were one of a handful of families with school aged kids.  Our bus stop was just us.  Now a days, the bus stop is teeming with kids. After my kids hit MS, I stopped going to the bus stop. One morning I drove by, and I was floored at how many kids there were.

This is part of the problem.  As retirees move out, more families with children will move into the sfh, thus impacting the capacity of the schools.  This will impact ES all the way up to HS.  Not to mention all the multi unit housing that's being built all over MoCo.[/quote]
