[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB families don't have to lobby for anything.  Just choose to attend, and (POOF!) it's changed.[/quote]

And when the smoke clears, it's still over 80% OOB and 50% FARMs.[/quote]

Not if you count most of the "OOB" as feeder-based "IB."  And, as we saw above, the FARMs percentage (currently listed 55%) will decrease quickly with IB buy-in.  The scores will go up immediately.  Et cetera.[/quote]

We'll just have to disagree on this point, PP.  When I look at Hardy, I see a school building that is at about 50% capacity.  I believe that DCPS wants to pack as many OOB kids into Hardy as possible rather than address the failure of its middle schools of than Deal.  However, DCPS is aware of the research showing that a FARMs rate much higher than 50% will have disastrous consequences for the school.

If the IB numbers at Hardy increase, there is a good chance DCPS will increase enrollment to provide additional OOB spots.  In that case, scores will stay flat.

I think you're grasping at straws to support your pessimism, or desire to defend your castle from the evil Ward 3 hordes, whatever the case may be.  Enrollment at Hardy has been pretty consistent for a while; and Fillmore isn't going anywhere, so I don't understand where you're coming from regarding the alleged "underenrollment."[/quote]

Alice Deal for some.  Rose L. Hardy for the rest! [/quote]

In Upper NW, it's called "Deal" for some; "raw deal" for others.[/quote]
