It's not surprising that the South Loop Elementary school's enrollment is growing. The neighborhoods that it serves have seen an increase in residents and families recently. Add the recent recession, which is probably causing "private" school parents to think twice about paying rediculously high tuition, and you can see why capacity issues might become a problem.
Today the Chicago Journal does a good job reporting on this so called "buldge" and talks about whether or not this is going to be a continuing problem. They also tackle some potential solutions if this problem continues to persist. For families in the area with small children it's a good and informative read.
