[quote=Anonymous][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]

Look at the size of the fifth grades in the feeder school. Even if Hardy achieved Deal-like levels of in-boundary participation it's never going to be 50% IB.  Deal has more than twice as many kids in the feeder schools per seat in the middle school and has 65% IB.[/quote]

Not necessarily true -- the 5th grade classes at the Hardy feeders are low because the kids bolt after 4th grade.  If parents see the promise of Hardy, they will stay through 5th.  We'll see if the numbers fill out in next year's 5th grade classes.[/quote]
