[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy had the [b]fastest growth of IB enrollment [/b]in all of DCPS. I can't share the "complete but we don't want to share them yet" numbers yet, but it is true. [/quote]

That happens when you move feeder school patterns.   All of the students who were at Eaton and used to feed Deal now feed Hardy.  [/quote]

So the Eaton rerouting kickstarted the change of heart of the families from all the other feeders? I also heard that parents were very optimistic about the new principal. I saw him speak once and I found his enthusiasm and energy contagious. [/quote]

Yes. In this case, the DME's decision to force the issue during the boundary review (despite the hue and cry) and shift Eaton to Hardy was positive.

It has helped Hardy's reputation and IB percentages while alleviating a bit of the crowding at Deal (without adding to the number of students headed to Wilson).

That's the third thing this week I've heard about where Jenny Niles is looking good in retrospect, things she did are turning out to be the right call. The other two are the Master Facilities Plan and the school closing/reuse process that tries to take the politics out of it.

So far Paul Kihn hasn't impressed me.[/quote]
