[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all should try Hardy.  I know that lots of you will jump in with Hardy hate, but it is a warm, welcoming bully-free zone.  Principal Pride and the admin team do a fantastic job of getting all the kids working together and supporting each other.[/quote]

According to the statistics Hardy has a 20% suspension rate... guess that is how they deal with issues... send the kids home[/quote]

Actually it's 9.8% at Hardy.

Since someone will ask, it's 3.1 at Deal.

Both are well below the DCPS rate of 21%.

From learndc.org.

What does a 10% suspension rate mean? 1 in 10 kids have been suspended for at least a day that year?  That's pretty scary of 10% of kids are misbehaving so badly as to get suspended. [/quote]

Yes - that is what that means. From learndc.org:

*The percentage of students who missed one of more days due to suspension. When a student is suspended, regardless of the amount of suspension time, each absence is considered suspension-related, not an unexcused absence .

Hardy MS expelled 0 students during the 2014-2015 school year. 134 students were expelled across all DC schools during the same period of time.

Do you happen to know if "all DC schools" means all DCPS schools, all DC public schools (DCPS plus charter) or truly all DC schools?  I doubt it's the third but I'm curious if the number includes charters. I know that expulsions are rare in DCPS. If a kid is out-of-boundary the principal can send him back to his in-boundary school, which doesn't count as an expulsion. (So it's not surprising that Hardy had zero). If the kid is in-boundary there is nowhere to send him so expulsions are discouraged. In the charter world expulsion means sending the kid to DCPS.[/quote]
