[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, I think some of the projections are still wishful thinking. For example, Takoma Park elementary now has 650 students and capacity for 584. If you look at MCPS projections, they magically go back down to 577 by 2019, thereby there is no need to address overcrowding. My guess is the numbers will actually keep going up. [/quote] I believe they make the projections by looking at development and construction planning for the area zoned to the school, and other demographic trends as projects come on line. On an overall basis, they do not project decreasing capacity over time - the opposite in fact. Sure, their projections are educated guesswork, but there's no overall trend where they underproject across the board IMO.[/quote]
