[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to understand how the school is under-enrolled, yet my DC's 7th grade honors English and honors math classes, as well as her science class, have  over 30 students in each section.[/quote]

I think this goes to the heart of the growing pains at Hardy. Hardy feeders have been sending increasing numbers of students who are by and large, very prepared students who test at proficient and higher and who need honors-level courses to be challenged. Principal Pride needs to plan for the changes in the make-up of her student body. Seems to me that those two classes should become two classes of 15, but my guess is that it comes down to the number of classes those two teachers have to teach each day. I hope the administration together with LSAT will plan appropriately to meet the needs of all levels of students at Hardy. If, for instance, an additional English teacher needs to come onboard I hope her budget will allow for it. PP, are parents vocal about this? [/quote]
