[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst is on a serious upswing. With the new buildings,  small class sizes, and path to Deal [b]it will be among the fabled "JKLMM" group in a few years. [/b] With the switch to Hardy, some are predicting a decline in IB students at Eaton, which would be sad.[/quote]

Hate to say it, but Hearst will only get to the JKLM level if and when its student population becomes overwhelmingly in-bounds.  It's a matter of SES demographics.[/quote]

Many of us at Hearst have no desire for the school to be overwhelmingly in-bounds.  We love the diversity of the school and aren't interested in our kids only being around high SES families.  It is one of the reasons we did not even consider a house in the JKLM boundaries.

The good thing is that with the tiny boundaries that Hearst (and to some degree Eaton) has, there isn't much chance of it ever being all IB.  To me, the diverse nature of the school community is what makes both Hearst and Eaton special.[/quote]
