[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know the plan around the expected impact of switching Eaton to Hardy (from Deal) next year... that would theoretically be a shift of 70ish students out of Deal per class & more IB into Hardy quickly.

With this year's Deal audited enrollment is 1476 - (538 for 6th, 466 for 7th, and 472 for 8th) - if the numbers are similar this year... taking out the Eaton population would take the per class #s back to around 460ish, and keep the school at 1400 total.  Hopefully they don't then refill the 'slots' created with additional students from elsewhere? [/quote]

You're making an assumption here that I have not found to be accurate in our time at Eaton. Many of the OOB students at Eaton have independent rights to Deal. So you are cutting, at most, given the current make up of 5th grade (and its previous make up) 21-28 IB students plus the handful of students who are OOB and don't have independent rights to Deal.  The most recent data I could find shows that in school year 2013/2014 34 students from Eaton went to Deal. https://mpdc.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/Feeder%20Pattern%20Analysis%20of%20DCPS%20Middle%20or%20MS&HS%20Education%20Campuses_4.2.14.pdf  While the lower grades have a higher percentage of IB students, the current 5th grade and obviously, previous 5th grades, did not.

You aren't going to get a net 70 student decrease from moving Eaton out of the feeder pattern. It was merely the sacrificial lamb on the PR altar of redistricting. [/quote]
