[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the Hardy stats from DCPS:

Hardy Middle School
STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS (2010-11)
Enrollment: 521

Black: 70% 70% 
  Hispanic/Latino: 12% 12% 
  White: 10% 10% 
  Asian: 4% 4% 
  Pacific/Hawaiian: 1% 1% 
  Native/Alaskan: 1% 1% 
  Multiple races: 3% 3% 
  
English language learners 12% 
Free and reduced-price lunch 45% 
Special education 8% 
In-boundary 13%

The in-boundary percentage (13%) is simply shocking to me, a parent at Key.  Barely 1 in 10 kids are likely to be neighbors or kids we'll see at Little League or soccer or on the playground?  That's what is so great about Key -- we have Key kids all around us here in the Palisades.  I'll be keeping an eye on that in-boundary number.  It at least needs to get up so the in-boundary kids are a majority before IB parents will feel better about sending their kids there.  I see even Deal has just 61 percent IB.[/quote]

That in-boundary # at Hardy will only go up if more IB parents send their kids there.  Keeping an eye on it won't help.  Action will.

of course it's hard to be the first and sometimes plans for a group to enter together don't work, as people peel off to send their kids to privates, but people left hardy on their own, so it's likely that returning on their own will work too - if enough people do it.[/quote]
