[quote=Anonymous]I believe this could have happened. There are frequent fights still at Hardy. Hardy is a mess. The principal puts on a good show that he’s involved and cares but it’s obvious he is struggling and can barely keep up. The school admin is pretend responsive and issues never get resolved. They’ll email you back or call but don’t really address ANY of the long-standing problems there. teachers are constantly out without explanation (sometimes for weeks and you’ll learn from your kid theres a sub for the last month),  rampant bullying and a toxic mean girl culture, some spectacularly terrible teachers, a building that is boiling hot in some classrooms kids have damn near passed out, water fountains removed, bathrooms locked during the day. Super understaffed everywhere. Did I mention the toxic mean girl culture—truly out of control. Loads of social media bullying the school refuses to address or even talk about—all done under the Hardy logo. Principal Cooke always looks like he’s putting out a fire. It’s odd—had a child there almost 4 years ago and one there now—the school has a very changed demographic recently. LOTS of Palisades Key parents and kids and the school culture has suffered. A ton of uber rich Key kids running the school yard like a scene out of Mean Girls. Oh and unless your kid is in all advanced classes you will be stuck with the total dregs of the teachers. I’ve known a few people who had to pull their kids due to TERRIBLE special education department and support.  One even got private placement Hardy was so bad. I’ve also known of a few girls over the last 4-5 years who had to leave due to mean girl problems.  Hardly any electives, no clubs (even pre covid), crappy sports. The one good thing Hardy has going for it—it’s small. [/quote]
