[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eaton parent here:  If Principal Pride can improve Hardy in the ways she is proposing and STAYS AT HARDY, I think that prospective Hardy students and families may be pleasantly surprised.  I would much rather send my child to a smaller MS than Deal anyway.  All of this being said, I am far more concerned with the uncertainty of what high school my child may go to despite living just over a mile from Wilson.[/quote]

This.

[b]Of many of those in bounds Cleveland park families go to hardy after eaton, hardy will improve. [/b]

But what high school would they feed to other than wilson?? Some eaton houses are less than a mile from wilson and where is the next nearest, other than duke Ellington, which is a specialty school?[/quote]

Perhaps so.  But in the short to medium term, the quality of education as compared to what they could have had at Deal will go down.[/quote]

If the Eaton families join forces now with the families choosing Hardy, they can establish a lot of parental support. That's what I would do if I was in Eaton now, I would deeply engage with parents at Hardy to figure out how to improve so that in the future, it would be good for my kid.[/quote]

My guess is that if the switch from Deal goes through, a lot more IB Eaton families will apply out to private schools for 6th grade if they can swing it, so Hardy may not get quite the bump up in scores that it may anticipate.[/quote]
