[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]call Hardy to see if they have space - they often do mid-year b/c with Bowling Airforce Base kids, some leave mid-year.  It's seriously changed a huge amount in the past couple years with SEM (ie. can do college-track math & science), PTA funded responsive classroom, fantastic new library and reading programs, lots of art, PE daily, encouragement to try new things & it's ok to try & 'fail' b/c that's how you learn afterall, and it's small enough that it would not be as overwhelming to a new student (around 130 per year, Principal seems to know all kids by name).  Also then in a designated school for Wilson.  Honestly, I'm a WOTP IB parent (who went to 'pressure cooker' schools myself) and feel like Hardy is really solid and a much better experience mentally for my kids than I had in MS.

[Yes, before the uniform troll posts, there are uniforms.  We're a $500K+ HHI and think it's awesome - there is no bullying or crazy peer pressure or judgments around clothes.] [/quote]

Sorry the above posted twice -- and I missed that you were asking about 5th grade.  Try Key, Mann or Hyde-Addison.  Their enrollments go down in 5th.  [/quote]

If you are up for the commute from wherever you are - if you are serious, I would also suggest trying the principals at these schools and explain the situation -- they can make an adjustment at their discretion & they all have a proportion of OOB students and lower enrollment in their 5th grades.[/quote]
