[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will be less attrition once Hardy expands the availability of advanced classes.  Before those classes began happening, families would not send their kids to Hardy because they would not be prepared to take the advanced classes available at Wilson.  Those advanced classes at Wilson have an environment productive to learning, which is great; but if your kid is in the non-advanced classes, the environment doesn't really allow for learning to take place.  Based on what Wilson kids and parents of graduates tell me, anyway.

But if you get Hardy's accelerated classes at the same level as Deal, you'll get more in-boundary parents staying for the cycle.  Which would further increase the student enrollment at Wilson (unless the boundaries change), but that's another topic.[/quote]

This is very, very optimistic at best. I wouldn't count on it.[/quote]

Why?  Hardy is already getting more in-boundary kids to attend, due to Principal Pride's efforts to diversify the programming at the school.[/quote]

The turn-around at Hardy will take years, PP.  We have a second grader at a Hardy feeder and don't believe that Hardy will improve fast enough for us.[/quote]

Only if your kid is like the tale character "Baby Brain". For all the others (including my 5th grader who got all 4s in his latest report card from a top Hardy feeder) Hardy is ready for next year. We re just waiting for the call for the test-in placement in late May/early June...
 Bye Baby Brain Parent!! See you at Harvard![/quote]
