No neighborhood kids and shrinking elementary school


We bought a home in a great school district and now I feel like moving. Our neighborhood is a little older - most of the home owners raised their kids here in the 90s - but still some new families here and there. We hoped it would turn over some more because “everyone” with kids moves here for the schools.My son is now 5 and there are no neighborhood kids. Maybe a baby or a 4th grader around the block, but essentially the area is still just empty nesters and their dogs. At Kindergarten orientation, we were told that the school has shrunk so much that they can only fill one K class.Do you think this will create problems in the long run? I feel disappointed at how things turned out in terms of social possibilities for my kid and the responsibility of volunteering (and donations/fundraising) for a school. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2wt76nk
