[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30% is higher than 15%. [/quote]

And oranges are rounder than apples.

The 30% number is the percent who attended a feeder school. The 15% number is the percent who reside within the attendance boundaries.  Not the same thing at all.[/quote]

Have you not been paying attention to this thread?  30% is the # of kids from a feeder school in 6th grade, this year; 15% refers to the # of kids from a feeder school in last year's 6th grade class.  The % increase entering 6th grade, over the past 3 years, is exponential and outstanding and reveals the will of the people who live in the neighborhood and/or attend its schools.  Game over (see thread title).  Now go away.[/quote]

Paying attention to this thread? Hell, I started it. And if you go back to my first posting you'll see that 15% is the published DCPS in-boundary number for school year 2014-15. Which, incidentally, is the only officially published number anywhere on the subject of in-boundary enrollment. Everything else is just rumor and speculation.

At this time last year people were saying that the feeder percentage at Hardy was 40% -- and 50% in the sixth grade. You can go back to the epic thread from last fall and read it if you don't believe me. Those numbers were no more based in reality than the 30% number from this year.

The IB number has inched up in the past few years -- from 11% to 13% to 15%, which in percentages is a big increase but in absolute terms is still very low, perhaps the lowest of any DCPS school. Unless DCPS suddenly is overcome by a wave of transparency we won't know until next spring whether that trend continues this year, and by itself that number leaves a lot unanswered about the composition of the school.[/quote]
