[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so why is Hardy so bad in the eyes of seemingly every DCUM poster? Anytime anyone recommends a neighborhood zoned for Hardy on the Real Estate forum, for example, five posters immediately say "well it's zoned for Hardy, and OP said schools were important...." Help me understand, please! [/quote]
They have something to sell you, but they make it sound like they care about where your kid goes and that you should too. They are trying to sell you a house IB to Deal or at least get their money back at some point. There is more Hardy bashing than nice talk about Deal which is hard to believe. Who benefits from it? Follow the money. They should not be recommending a school that is already crowded. How is crowded even good? Again, selling you something.
Hardy feeder  kids outperform Deal feeder kids. There is no reason why they won't do well in Hardy with the great teachers they have.
Middle school is only 3 years and Hardy and Deal kids will meet up in Wilson. some make it sound like eternity. I rent and can move IB to Deal or anywhere. Moving nowhere. 
DC is finishing up 5th grade and going to Hardy next year. I have asked him if his classmates were coming and he said yes, almost all.
I really don't mind if some of you don't want to send your kid to Hardy. You do your thing, we do ours. DC is not coming to Wilson and no, not bashing Wilson.[/quote]

Well said! Do home values in AU Park go down in Hardy becomes more widely seen as a viable option?

No. But I'm hoping the Hardy bashing will stop. Prices will stay the same because there is just more demand for SFH that available houses. Even adding SFH IB to Hardy is not enough SFH to go around. They really don't make more of them. However, at certain price point, people would rather move out to MC or VA and get a better house along with good schools. DC schools are fine and notable change in Wilson will be next unless they can fit more kids in it.
MD and VA people won't be bashing DC schools (top 20=high SES), but rather the huts one million buys us here.
