[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't many Mann and Key students go to private after 4th grade? If so, 50% of the 5th-grade class really isn't the relevant number. You should be looking at % of the 3rd and 4th grade classes. [/quote]

Mann's fifth-grade class last year was 19 students. This year: 42 students. 100% of third- and fourth-graders returned. Next year's fifth-grade class is supposed to be 55 kids. [/quote]

One of the ex-mann parents at our private said a lot of the 3rd/4th attrition at Mann was because of the trailers, now gone.

Our younger DC is in 4th and we are watching Hardy, but applying to Latin this year. A former Mann now Hardy parent confided they have to constantly push the Hardy administration to follow through on all honors and other advanced offerings that were promised, and that what is labeled honors looks like grade level work to them.[/quote]

Assuming you are worried about this because you want to make sure your child is prepared for advanced high school classes, you don't have to worry.  My child (now at Wilson) attended Hardy before they started offering the differentiated classes.  DC and peers stepped right into high school honors and advanced classes (at Wilson, at Walls, at Banneker, and at privates), with no problem.   Trust me, Hardy will do a great job preparing your kid for high school.[/quote]
