[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see a ton of empirical evidence that well-heeled DC parents are prepared to put in the sweat equity to make their public school options attractive. They go private, move, or hold their noses and do Deal/Wilson if that's an option. But seeing how schools like Hardy and Roosevelt in prime locations remain perpetually under-enrolled and under-performing tells you that many of those parents spend more time trying to convince others that suburban life sucks than they do trying to make urban life attractive.[/quote]

Apparently Hardy's in-boundary enrollment has gone up (and no, we are not zoned for Hardy, but Deal) just in the past year or so.  Buzz in the DC public schools thread suggests that this school year, there's even a higher % of IB kids enrolled.  Test scores are also increasing, apparently:

Comparing Hardy and Roosevelt is like comparing apples to oranges. There is literally nothing similar about them except that they are both schools.[/quote]
