[quote=Anonymous]We have a 7th grader at Hardy and are weighing options for high school. While DCPS' stated position is that the school will open in August '23, it seems like a tall order. I don't think construction has begun (nor has there been a public engagement process yet about designs.) The school does need considerable renovation to make it ready for high-schoolers. Not to mention staff hiring and deciding course offerings etc. If DCPS wants to follow through what was in the announcement, then there will be a sizeable number of OOB slots, which means that the school needs to be somewhat ready for parents to list it in their lottery preferences in 23. That is only 10 months away! Finally, we are concerned about things like course offerings, including AP, extracurriculars (of which Hardy has had very little, like theater, musicals and the like). While someone has to be the first cohort, I worry that the current 7th grade cohort at Hardy will get the short end of the stick with this rushed timetable. Or is it more likely that DCPS starts things off and decides to put off the opening for until August '24?[/quote]
