[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy is not the worst middle school in DC, but as a parent are you going to willingly send your child to a worse school than what you counted on?  Especially when classmates are heading to private.  DCPS is actually counting on the fact that Cleveland Park parents will suck it up and send their kids to private school without raising too much of a fuss.  They won't go to Hardy, but the OOB kids will in larger numbers.[/quote]

I think parents really should consider Hardy -- take a look at the changes being implemented and achieved -- before bashing it as a bad school.  However, as stated earlier in this thread, the real threat to Hardy's progress as a school is DCPS's openness to taking Hardy out as a Wilson feeder.  That, right there, kills any promise that Hardy may have.  The only way to cure the harm this has caused is for DCPS to commit to a new high school, feeding from Ward 2 and Ward 3, immediately.  Otherwise, no parent with access to better options is going to consider Hardy as worth their child's middle school years.  All of Principal Pride's efforts will die on the vine she's trying to grow.[/quote]
