[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen many negative threads. The school seems great this year virtually. Is there a lot of differentiation in-person, how are the teachers, are there fights in the school? [/quote]. The IB % is only around a quarter. Unless you think PR is the main problem, that’s all you really need to know. You can make the best of the school, or avoid it. Those are your choices. It’s only going to so good with kids who read 2 or 3 grade levels behind yours in the same science and social studies classes.[/quote]

IB% doesn’t mean much on the Hill. Brent and Maury students who go to SH are OOB. [/quote]

Come on, it does when most of the OOB students are coming from Wards 5, 7 and 8. That's been the story at SH since the 1970s. More students still come from outside Ward 6 than in. DCPS focuses on making Deal and Hardy work for IB families, not Hobson.  Arghhhh.[/quote]

Let us be honest. Deal, Hardy and whatever the new middle school in Foxhall/ex-GDS will be called are very inaccessible to families that aren't in-boundary. Hardy was nowhere near full enrollment until IB families started coming in. Foxhall will be even worse. There is just one dinky bus line that is on the chopping block. As far as I can make out, the goal is to make a new school nearly 100% IB to make a new rich Deal-rival. The area it will serve will be nearly all single family upper class homes with nearly zero transit. Nearly all OOB families will require both a car and a pretty rough East-West commute.[/quote]
