[quote=Anonymous]Hardy used to be the main option for kids in the lesser parts of DC allowing them to be funneled to Wilson. When the old administrations started stacking the deck that only accelerated the local families abandoning it more which in turn created more seats for the rest of DC to have a shot at Wilson which always seemed like the intent. Kept Wilson diverse and gave black families who couldn’t afford ward 3 a public path. Now that so many of the recent home owners are house poor and the good privates are not really for working families anymore, there has been a concerted effort to “reclaim” hardy. A couple of years ago at the fourth of July parade in the palisades , there were hipster parents walking with a “Hardy is good enough for my kids and it’s good enough for yours” banner. Few struggling schools in DC have such a clear path to respectability but it has been an uphill battle since so much of Hardy’s zone simply will never go public. [/quote]
