[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am delighted to see all the statistics backing up the point that I perceive as so obvious:  The more IB parents families their kids to Hardy, the more scores at Hardy will start reflecting IB families.

What is hard to understand about this?  Nothing -- except there have been other psych/perception forces at work over the last few years that have clouded even the most logical/statistical minds.  [/quote]

It seems like the parents who say they are waiting for the scores to go up before they send their kids to Hardy are really saying - they're more influenced by gossip and innuendo than they are by statistics and common sense.[/quote]

Perhaps they recognize that the emperor has no clothes.  The percentage of white kids scoring "advanced" is much higher at Deal than Hardy.

Ouch.  OP is just the latest to advise that the school is improving, and at a rate that means OP won't "have to move or pay" to get the best of what is possible within a weaker school system.   But the kids associated with posters like OP disappear mysteriously before 6th grade.  See school year 2014-15.[/quote]
