[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The numbers provided are from the schools.  they may be off by a couple as kids go in and out but they are not my numbers.

I don't think whether Hardy will be better than Deal is the question.  It is whether Hardy will be a "Premeir" middle school.  Lets face it not that long ago Deal was in the same boat as Hardy (for those of you that have not been around DC long enough to know it).  Deal and Hardy can both be great schools.  What might be the best for your child might not be the best for my child.  Offerings, School Size etc. may make Deal great for some and not for others and vice versa with Hardy.

Lets face it.  Many of you that are saying I would never send my kind to Hardy are the same suburbanites that 10 years ago "Would never live in DC".  Things change.  Hardy will be a great school.[/quote]

The stages of city denial

A.  It is insane to live in DC, crime, riots, squalor, long lines at the DMV
B. It is insane to live in DC with kids
C. It is insane to live in DC with school age kids
D. It is insane to live in DC with middle school age kids
E. It is insane to live in DC with middle school age kids, unless you are zoned for Deal, or lucked out in the lottery

We are now at Stage E.  DCPS at least on paper wants to move to stage F, where there are more neighborhood middle schools "like Deal" which I think really means "good enough that they do not make moving to the suburbs an obviously better choice" We are getting closer to that, though  not quite there yet.[/quote]
