[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I visited looking for my DC, I found it to be loud and chaotic. It seemed like a happy chaos, but lots of kids jostling each other playfully in the hallway. Just wouldn't work for my kid. Has some SN issues that make that environment really hard to navigate.

I liked the teachers and don't mind uniforms. What did concern me was that at the end of my visit, the tour guide administrator had to rush off to deal with a fight. I know they happen, but it was another indicator that it would be a difficult environment for my very sensitive kid.

Academically I was impressed with offerings and wished it were a little calmer because there was a lot to like. DC is a middle-of-the-road to strong student depending on the subject. I liked that they weren't afraid of advancing kids who were ready but also have a strong support team.

If IB families (we're not) would embrace it, I could totally see it as a fabulous smaller alternative to Deal. Not everyone wants such a large MS. Just my 2c.[/quote]

You're assuming, PP, that the current enrollment at Hardy is a natural upper bound on enrollment. It isn't in the sense that the building can accommodate almost twice as many as are currently enrolled.  DCPS understands that 50% or so is the upper limit on FARMs before a school become dysfunctional.  As the IB enrollment at Hardy increases, total enrollment at Hardy will increase as well.  IB families will never get "a fabulous smaller alternative to Deal." [/quote]

That all sounds like...conjecture![/quote]
