Says who? To the extent that houses with yards are bigger than apartments, I'd say that they're MORE likely to.[/quote]
Home appraiser here - In the high Hispanic areas of the county, there are multiple families living [u]everywhere[/u] - house, apartment, townhome, etc.  4-5 mattresses per bedroom is not unusual at all.  This is 100% the reason there is overcrowding in schools located in these areas.  MCPS doesn't recognize this and it's not a part of their calculations.  They still use 25 year old models for estimating growth.[/quote]

And the reason in Bethesda is...?

As for your statement that this is an unrecognized, unaccounted-for phenomenon: it's not.

[i]Every other year, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) provides the Planning Department with a dataset that includes the address and grade of every MCPS student (with all other identifying information scrubbed from the dataset). The Planning Department then cross-references this information with parcel data that identifies the type of housing at the relevant address (single-family home, townhouse, high-rise multifamily, etc.).

Using this information, the Planning Department calculates how many elementary, middle and high school students are generated by different types of housing across different parts of the county. When the rates were last calculated using 2016 enrollment data, housing type information was matched to the addresses of 99.1 percent of the more than 159,000 MCPS students. This means that the resulting generation rates are based on a nearly-complete picture of exactly how many kids live in each category of housing across the entire county.
