[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]0 kids from the past 2 5th grades at Mann went to hardy.

-Mann parent[/quote]

2 kids from Key went to Hardy last year.

There honestly are a large number of parents from the Key district who would consider the Hardy-Wilson path as Hardy is on the upswing, but will not consider it if the path is, say, improving-Hardy-Cardozo.

As a Key parent, we bought on a wish that Hardy would continue on it's improving trajectory - but do feel for the Eaton parents who had their assumed pathway changed on them & they are now in the boat that Key/Mann/Hyde & Stoddert have been in for a long time.  (Understanding this is a different discussion than talking about #Eastof16thStreet issues vs. #Westof16thStreet issues).

Just FYI - the old Hardy school always seems like a nice solution, but until DCPS figures out a better solution for their special education care - taking away the contract from the Lab School, including their lease to the facilities - would basically bankrupt the entire system.  I personally don't get the 'no way Ellington can be moved' even with the 'powerhouse' of PCCafritz and the decision to renovate - given all the other unrest that's going on with boundaries and so forth (the kids there use the Jelleff Field (now often called the Ellington Field)).

Also called the "Maret home field" because of the semi-exclusive arrangement that Maret school worked out with the Parks & Rec department several years ago to help finance renovations.

Where does Hardy play?  Is their only facility the mini-field behind the school, which seems to have been shoehorned in so that space could be maintained for the Georgetown flea market?

By the way, I'd be skeptical of Peggy Cafritz's supposed "power."  When she was head of the DC school board, she couldn't even get Ellington painted.
