[quote=Anonymous]Hardy is changing already - and I say that as an in-boundary parent with a sixth grader attending there.   My sense is the thing that scared parents off the most in the last couple of years was uncertainty - who was going to be the principal?  Were the parents united behind the principal, and did the principal have the power and authority to impose tough standards on teachers and students?

Those questions are answered now.  Dr. Stefanus is in place, with no controversy and the support of the IB and OOB parents.  The year is going well - Dr. Stefanus has created a good safe, and supportive environment.

Those changes alone -- combined with the demographics increasing populations of in-boundary students in the Hardy feeder schools - will result in more IB students attending Hardy.  But I don't think those will be the only changes - I fully expect to see test scores going up this year, and that will start a cycle that makes the school even more attractive to IB families.

It won't happen overnight, but this transition has already started.
