[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would welcome a link to any data supporting the idea that the number of in bounds Hardy families is different now then prior to the start of renovations.   That's a core assumption of the above history.  Doesn't match what went on with in bound friend's families during that period.  I suspect this is an urban legend.[/quote]

It would be nice to have the actual enrollment data from that era, PP.  The best I can do, however, is the following except from a Post article ([url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/20/AR2008082001439_2.html?sid=ST2008082003988[/url]):

[quote]Renovations began in December 2005. The original plan was for students to remain in the building during construction. But work crews cut phone and electrical lines as well as pipes, nearly causing a flood. After that, Pope said, he lobbied to move out of the building. The school was relocated to the Hamilton Center, a vacant special education school in Northeast.

After the move, enrollment dropped from 420 to 320. [/quote]

It's reasonable to suppose that most of the 100 kids who left were IB.  Some of the 320 who stayed were probably IB as well.  That gives a likely lower bound on the pre-move IB enrollment of 24%.  It might have been much higher, for all we know.

According to DCPS, IB enrollment at Hardy is 11% today. ([url]http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Hardy+Middle+School[/url])
