[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think the new high school will create momentum for Hardy to improve? I hope so!

We are in boundary for Hardy but currently not too exited about it. It may be in part due to lower  (<80%) IB population and shabby school grounds. We were there a few months ago and was negatively impressed.. Does it take so much to repair basketball hoops and keep the trash collected? This after DC spends millions after millions in major school upgrades..[/quote]

Trash collection and broken playground equipment is an issue at our recently modernized elementary ... 80% IB is also pretty good.  Do you have any substantive concerns about Hardy?[/quote]

No, since I don’t know much about the school. My kids are still at a feeder ES.

IB enrollment from inbound ESs was about 60% in 2020/2021, I believe, but improving from previous years. [/quote]

We're IB and planning on using Hardy in a few years. IB numbers have gone up pretty steadily over the last decade. When we moved to the neighborhood, very few families used it. Now, most seem to use it. Really the only OOB families seem to be coming from the Hyde-Addison feeder. I'm ok with that, makes the school more diverse than my super white neighborhood.[/quote]

Hyde was just renovated. Historically schools have gotten a big bump in in-boundary interest after being renovated. Hyde has always been a bit of a special case because the surrounding neighborhood isn't very family-friendly but it's worth watching. [/quote]
