[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope DCI will be a great school in 9 years but it is not established yet. Test scores aren't great, lots of behavior problems. We will be looking at other options for DC, including Hardy.[/quote]

DCI is about 2 years old?  So, it has time to grow.

The best thing that happened to Hardy, is kicking in Eaton (and the Oyster families who don't want to deal with Adams).  Those decisions in and of themselves will improve the school.[/quote]

Uh no. Eaton was already very high OOB so yeah you may have some OOB feeder kids (smart I'm sure), but you don't have a spike in Eaton catchment kids going to Hardy. The best thing to happen to Hardy in the concerted effort families from Stoddert, Mann, and yes some Eaton have made to improve Hardy and commit to going. Of the schools, I'd say Stoddert has largest role. Stoddert has some of the highest scores in the city (higher than some JKLM) and they bring a diverse cohort of kids. Those families' commitment is making a big difference IMO. Eaton being moved hasn't been felt yet.[/quote]

But aren't the younger grades at Eaton almost all IB?[/quote]
