[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy was:
13% IB in 2011-2012
13% IB in 2013-2014
20% IB in 2015-2016
27% IB in 2017-2018

This seems to me more like steady progress with neighborhood families since 2013 than this weird concept of "flipping" (way too implicit racism there). Maybe there is an inflection point, maybe there isn't. But there has been 5 years of steady IB growth. We'll see what the 2018-2019 number are when they are released later this year. I'm expecting a number in the low 30s, though the increasing class size due to the Eaton influx could change that.

Go back through the thread. A big change was 2018-19 was the first year that Eaton fed to Hardy. That's not in the above year stats - and then it will still be weighted with next year's stats where the IB #s are higher for 6th and the 7th and 8th will still have higher OOB proportionately. Around half of this past year's 6th grade were students from Eaton - and then a large # from Stoddert. And the feeder #s overall to 6th was around 90%.

Would agree 'flipping' is offensive - but it's a change of being a neighborhood and feeder pattern school vs. being a de factor charter - where places like Basis have emerged as charter options and DCPS then now also has to invest more in Stuart Hobson and Jefferson and other MS options also.

Principal Cooke is amazing - and I also like some PPs prefer that Hardy is a smaller school - around 1/3 the size of Deal - where the principals and teachers know the kids names and Cooke makes having kids know there are caring adults there for each kid a top priority. He is also committed to diversity and inclusion at the school.
