[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney and Murch drew higher and higher numbers of IB students because those schools had staff and active families that inspired greater confidence in DCPS. Hearst has not been able to pull it off, for whatever reason.
Hearst also includes some apartment buildings, by the way, not all million-dollar houses. Now, for some crazy reason, DCPS is renovating Hearst (and not Murch, which has many more students and is overdue) and also threatening choice sets that would put the Hearst neighborhood out of the Deal/Wilson feeder pattern. Then you are going to see a brand new Hearst building with ZERO IB families. The proposed boundary shift is yet another mindf**K from DC government: it rezones families who live only 2-3 blocks from Murch to Hearst which is a mile away. This looks like a plan to try and revive Hardy by forced rezoning to capture more IB, but it isn't going to fly because the IB families who came back to DCPS for Murch and Deal will not go for lower-quality schools that are further away (Hearst and Hardy).[/quote]

Get over yourself. In no scenario does Hearst go to Hardy and the whole idea of choice sets is DOA, this post is a little over the top in its claims. Let's be honest in our discussions on this board.[/quote]
