[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again here are some numbers:

Hyde-Addison  - CY 5th grade: 29 students, CY 4th grade: 53, 82% increase in class size
Key - CY 5th grade: 36 students, CY 4th grade: 56 Students, 55% increase in class size
Mann - CY 5th Grade: 18 students, CY 4th Grade: 43 students, 138% increase in class size
Stoddert - CY 5th grade: 25 students, CY 4th grade: 60 students, 140% increase in class size
Eaton - CY 5th grade: 66 Students, CY 4th grade students: 70 students, 6% increase

Either there will be additional 5th grade classes (which I have been told there will be) or class sizes in these schools will be huge.

As an Eaton parent with a kid in 2nd grade I can say I believe you are going to see a large number of Eaton kids at Hardy when our class is going to 6th grade (the 1st year we don't have Deal feeder rights).  I will also say that there are a lot of parents in our school considering early adoption and choosing Hardy over Deal.   This is not to knock Deal.  It is a great school as well, however, a school that size is not for everyone and it is only going to get bigger.

I encourage you to go visit Hardy.  Talk to Trish Pride and meet with the parents and students.  I think you will be impressed.

The number for the Stoddert 5th grade is incorrect.  It's been about 20 this year, with a student coming and going.  It has never been 25.  PP- it makes me questions the accuracy of your post.  There are some children in the current 5th grade class at Stoddert going to Hardy, but I know most are going to their Embassy schools or private schools next year.

If you don't want to send your kid to Hardy that is fine.  I am sure we are all just trying to provide the best educational experience for our children.  With that said look at the under lying numbers.  Hardy has strong leadership, has great educators, expanding offerings, and a growing community.  It is headed toward success.  This is something everyone in DC should cheer and support.  More strong Middle School options in DC is good for everyone.
