[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been to both schools? They feel very different to me. I looked into 3 classes at each open house -- the most notable difference was that the Hardy kids were engaged (asking questions, writing, standing, talking) and the Francis students were all looking at devices, in every class.

I also think Hardy accelerates up in math by one additional level compared to Francis. And Hardy had science labs, and I didn't see them at Francis (though this could be different in the new building.)
-------------------------

What grade in Francis was this? I'm in the younger yrs currently and I think it's been a great experience thus far. Based on this it seems the only worthwhile MS in DC are Hardy, Deal, Basis on this forum. Good grief.

This is a rich comment also: 
"All DCPS schools use the same curriculum" is a unfortunately a fiction that parents are the worse DCPS schools tell themselves.

They do. Now how the teachers execute said curriculum is another story altogether. [/quote]

I think PP was also pointing out how every school offers different classes.  Hardy and Deal offer more advanced math classes than Francis.[/quote]
