[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principal Pride regularly talks about the feeder numbers & they've been posted in this thread already - 18 students from Hyde, 13 from Stoddert, 6 from Mann, 5 from Key, 1 from Eaton.  43 out of the 130 kids (33%).  It's likely of course a portion of these kids are OOB.  So, as an exercise - if 30% of the 43 are OOB, that would mean 30 kids IB (23%) - or if 40 percent are OOB, that would mean 25 kids IB (19%).  Of course, those watching intently could ask why not just give the IB numbers, but for many pretty obvious reasons they are focusing on the feeders cohorts - which is important to many parents making decisions about where to send their kids (are they going to be with other kids with similar academic experience and are friends).

Of the other children - 10 kids were from Thompson, 10 from Brent.  (ie. growing numbers of kids coming from schools with improving test scores).

Of note for watching trends: Stoddert has added a full additional 5th grade class (& more families choosing to remain in Glover Park) - and as a cohort represent a higher chance of more IB kids going to Hardy - as one 'bellweather'.

DCPS official count days at schools aren't until Nov/Dec often - so the actual lag in the process of reporting IB students isn't actually taking that long.

The problem with those numbers is there is no basis for comparison. They were never released in previous years, so there's no way of knowing if these numbers are better, worse or unchanged.

The only number that has been consistently released is the overall IB percentage of the school, and that's the one number that Hardy seems reluctant to produce.

Count day was in early October. Enrollment records are computerized. I'm sure DCPS has the numbers, they just aren't ready to release them yet.[/quote]

Our elementary schools count day was not until late November (an IB for Hardy school BTW) - they aren't going to release some school's data before others.[/quote]
