[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Deal OOB is mainly coming from a few ES that are still predominantly OOB, it seems likely that with Hearst (an example of high% OOB school) being remodeled this most likely will increase the number of IB students there. Murch has not even been remodeled and it's enrollment has skyrocketed. Just cutting the OOB students in feeder schools is not the way to go. It seems it would be better to change the feeder of the whole school. Hardy is very under enrolled, and it should be a strong MS option.  DCPS should bring Melissa Kim back and have her oversee MS. She knows how to turn a MS around. [/quote]

Hardy is not a good option because:

1) There's no culture of meeting the needs of high-achieving students. Deal has enough that it can aim it's instruction toward the high middle and is organized enough to provide some reasonable opportunities for those who can to do more.

2) It has no Metro access. This makes it a poor choice for kids who live near Red Line stations and are now able to simply hop trains to Deal independently. Bus service is unacceptably thin beyond the urban core, and Hardy sits outside of this.[/quote]

There isn't a MS for Shepherd Park, Crestwood et al, for residents to attend. The logical choice is for Janney to feed to Hardy. Most families who attend Janney have a car. [/quote]
