[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would more families leave DCPS and not go to Hardy specifically now? Hardy is better than it ever was. [/quote]

Because it now feeds to MacArthur.[/quote]

This.  They are moving to the burbs for a much better guaranteed middle school and high school option.

The good middle schools in the burbs just blows Hardy out of the water, not to mention not having to deal with the dysfunction and sh”tshow that is DCPS.  Also throw in so many more course offerrings, EC, and better facilities.[/quote]

Eh, my friend's kid is going to Longfellow in McLean and from their stories, it feels like teachers in Hardy are much better on average, as well as approach to resolving issues taking place at school. [/quote]

I feel like this myth about suburban schools blowing anything out of the water is kept alive by families who moved to suburbs because they couldn't afford living in the city anymore, to make themselves feel better that they moved. [/quote]

Or just to rationalize their choices that were based on assumptions that did not prove to be true. I know lots of people who moved to the burbs and found the grass was just about the same shade of green if not less so[/quote]
