[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the PPs for first-hand accounts of how things are going at Hardy. Attended an open house recently (we are in-boundary but not at a feeder school) and came away with mixed impressions. They are clearly doing some things right, but I was surprised and unhappy to hear that only 10% of current Hardy students are in "advanced" math. We're not talking prodigy-level math here, but just algebra in 7th and geometry in 8th--appropriate preparation for the advanced track at Wilson, SWW, or private schools. Ten percent seems startlingly low, but the administrators answering questions about it didn't seem concerned or appear to have a plan for raising the numbers. [/quote]

I thought the issue is that there were more than 30 kids in 'advanced' (ie. basic college track level math) now - which meant the classes were to big (ie. the need to add a second section for each) - which is more like 25% of the kids?  (not sure if there's some overlap tho of kids in 8th taking alegbra?)

Anyway, seems like as the 6th and coming years have much higher % of kids who are on more 'advanced' class tracks, would assume/hope they would make adding sections & keeping those class sizes manageable a priority.  (Just to note, the class sizes at Deal are pretty large too).[/quote]
