-- Hardy IB family who would love it, but seriously why would any IB Deal family or Deal feeder family be up for this...  [/quote]

I seriously don't get the Hardy IB community.  You have a school fed exclusively by top performing elementary schools.  No dead weight whatsoever and most as hard to get into OOB as Deal feeds. [b] If you just enrolled in boundary you'd have a school superior to Deal [/b]with a much more manageable size.[/quote]

But that means someone's gotta do it first. They gotta keep going to reduce the OOB and thus reduce the brown kids to make it safe for everyone to come on in. You also have a great school in Banneker that no white families look at. DC, neck and neck with Boston for being the most racist liberal city.[/quote]Yep, as the mom of an OOB Hardy grad, the bolded statement is really offensive.  Yeah, if you could just get rid of kids like mine, your school would be sooooo much better.  Nice to know what you think of my child.[/quote]

there's nothing racist in that statement.  Take the standardized scores alone and the entire feeder pattern for Hardy comprises the top performing schools in DC.  By "dead weight" I only referred to low performing schools.  Deal doesn't really have dead weight either.  If you want to read into that it's your hang up.

Banneker is an excellent school but irrelevant to Hardy other than it's the tired favorite card in every DCUM race player hand.  It's a selective application school and it's demographics are largely self selected.[/quote]

^^ and to be clear I'm not talking about OOB students at all.[/quote]Didn't say you were racist.  Said you were saying that the key to a superior performing school is enrolling in-boundary children.  Since my child was OOB, it's pretty clear you think that she brought down the quality of the school.  Well, thanks for that![/quote]

Hardy parent PP lamented Hardy in relation to Deal.  Deal has become a high achieving school because it retains its high performing ES feeders.  1/3 of Deal lives out of boundary too.  OOB students aren't the problem for Hardy.  The school is not getting buy in from within its boundary on par with Deal.[/quote]
