[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So 110 pages later and nearly a year after the 2014-15 school year began, do we finally know last year's official figures for students who live in boundaries and attend Hardy.  Or is that still DCPS classified information?  :)[/quote]

http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/Hardy+Middle+School

IB (but not including OOB who attended IB elementaries) was up to 15%

FWIW, white+asian/pacific+Multiracial = 27%

FARMs percent, unknown (for all DCPS, not just Hardy) [/quote]

Two years earlier white+asian/pacific+Multiracial was equal to 14% http://profiles.dcps.dc.gov/pdf/2013_Equity_Report_DCPS_External_Hardy%20Middle%20School.pdf

It seems clear that some of the increase in white, multitracial and asian is actually OOB students. not IB. So some of the use of IB as a proxy for race (and likely for SES)  is not factually correct (whatever else may be wrong with it) [/quote]It was never clear whether people were using it that way or not -- or at least I think most people would say they were not using it that way but who really knows?  Back in the aughts when my kid attended, there were kids from white families from Capitol Hill, SW, and EOTP attending OOB -- which is one (but not the only) reason I found the broad stereotypes about OOB kids to be so offensive.  Nothing like being told over and over again that your kids aren't good enough for IB families.[/quote]
