I'm sorry, have you seen this thread yet?   http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/363908.page

I live in Petwoth, the real estate here is only going up, we're moving on to our second child and I know I'm not alone in saying Deal is not attractive at 1200+ students.  Hardy looks fantstic from our POV, commute notwithstanding.  We've been talking about it as, well that's the life of an urban kid.

But all this biz about low-SES percentages, and being prepared to learn, and discipline problems sounds like pretty clear code for "rich people will come in when poor people will get out."

If the school has a capacity for 650 and it's currently at 400, what in the hell is keeping IB parents from filling it now? If you say academic rigor and program offerings and extracurriculars, I'm ready to join your fight to make it happen, because the ward 4 problem is woefully sad and neglected.

If you say it's demographics, as many Hardy neighbors have expressed here, I'll say you can go hang and suggest that current and prospective OOB Hardy families take a look at Paul Public Charter School.  We're pretty excited about it and think--hope with fingers crossed!-- that it will continue to diversify as it maintains its academic standards.  Looks like a REALLY great school[/quote]
