Kid #301 and up have to go somewhere else.

Maybe. It would be just as likely, I think, to either overcrowd the school. or start seeing "mobiles" (school room trailers) spring up in the parking lots.
Our kids went to a very fine school system and graduated from a "new" high school -- which was overcrowded within five years of opening. It has since been expanded, but bricks and mortar are expensive -- and as it grew, the standards went down.
That's not necessarily something that will happen everywhere, but it's certainly a concern to me.
