[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if Mann has always been zoned into Hardy. If so, there were probably ample lottery slots for Deal until a few years ago.

13:55: do you have the data on %OOB at Hardy? I've been looking for it so that I can form some forward-looking expectations about where Hardy will be in five years. It is way more informative to know that "Hardy went from 100% OOB five years ago to 65% OOB today" compared to "Hardy is 65% OOB." The slope is what matters, not the level, when it comes to predicting five or more years out. [/quote]

Here is what you need to know:
1.  What Elemantary Schools Feed Hardy?
Hyde, Stoddert, Mann, Eaton, Key

2.  Of the schools that feed Hardy, what % of the population is IB?
Stoddert - 80% +
Hyde - 37%
Eaton - 36%
Mann / Key - close to 100%

3.  From where do you think Hardy gets the 11% IB students?

Also - remember that 7 years ago Hardy was in a swing space and the kids were bussed to school.  It was a disaster.  After that there was Principal shake-up.  
I hate to break it to you - but the children going to Hardy IB are the families that do not have another option.  Of the IB students, these are mostly kids from Stoddert, the least expensive housing on average of any of the feeder communities.[/quote]

Currently Eaton feeds into Deal and Hardy.  I don't think anyone can say for sure it will be switched to Hardy only with any credibility.    However, what I can say is that it has a well liked principal, teachers seem happy to be there and engaged.  The art teacher is amazing and there is a great musical for the 4th & 5th grades each year.  In terms of sports they have solid afterschool basketball and Stoddert soccer teams and a Girls on the Run program.  In terms of parents, we want our children to be there, we work very hard to make sure the school is successful in terms of supports we fundraise for and community events.  I would also hazard to guess that Eaton  would be in the top 5 schools in terms of real demographic diversity.  Not just black/white but kids from a number of countries.  It currently has a population of 471 which is the highest it can really go given the size of the facility.  Totally recommend going to the open house.  [/quote]
