[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, which JKLM goes downhill after 3rd?  [/quote]

Don't take much from this statement. There is always someone who is disappointed, no matter what.

In this case, the poster is probably frustrated that Key and Mann particularly see more of an exodus in later years (between 4th and 5th mainly). For Key and Mann, most parents do not believe the current Hardy setup meets their needs. There is good reason to expect this frustration to be temporary however. The new principal has been working very closely with in-bounds parents to adjust the curriculum to suit the needs of IB students (who tend to be much better prepared, both academically and in terms of behavior). You should expect to see changes to the language and math (I think) curricula this summer, with changes to other curricula following next year. The parents involved with this process are reportedly pleased with the progress being made and the receptiveness of the principal and DCPS. (I'm not one of the parents involved, so I cannot report anything more than second-hand.) Even though it doesn't matter to us (apart from property values), I'd put good money on Hardy being a destination middle school (akin to Deal) within a few years. [/quote]
