[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I would love to see a turn-around at Hardy, I am not optimistic that it will happen in the near term.

The kids at the feeders are much better prepared for MS than the OOB kids are.  Since Hardy offers no meaningful differentiation (sorry, SEM does not cut it), the kids from the feeders will be decelerated while the OOB kids are given a chance to catch up by HS.  Sadly, many of OOB kids still won't catch up by HS, but the feeder kids will certainly fall behind where they might otherwise have been and where their peers at Deal MS will end up.

I see this a lot, and I always wonder about the well prepared OOB kids whose parents are just looking for an option besides Deal.  We are in this situation.  Our 2nd grade daughter is in a great DCPS school that doesn't happen to feed to Deal.  We and her classmates' parents are obviously scanning, analyzing, and making plans, one of which might include Hardy if things worked out that way in a few years.   I know there must be other parents like us.  If we could all amass and descend on a Hardy, for example, that COULD be an entering class of well prepared OOB kids... Or not?  Would love to hear discussion around this. [/quote]
