[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While we can't yet be sure of the accuracy of the claim of 50 IB in 6th grade, it seems to me that if that is true, there may well more who will make that choice next year.  And probably some additional from the change in feeder patterns.   Sees like Hardy could easily be 50% IB in 6th grade next year, with most of the rest being well-prepared OOB students (of whatever skin color) from  Hardy feeders.

At that point one would have to consider Hardy to be "flipped" I guess. [/quote]

Then it's already "flipped" in the minds of the constituents -- the data just takes a little while for that to be shown.  Students in 7th and 6th grades now are going to push the test scores higher; though overall reading still looked bad last year.  Once reading and math are above 75% there will be no compelling reason for IB students not to attend Hardy.  There will always be some kind of manufactured reason, from some parents, but no compelling ones.  For now, ignoring the likelihood of higher scores from the current year's tests, reading scores at 65% proficient are still a "pretty good" reason to skip Hardy for a school with better academic production.[/quote]
