[quote=Anonymous]Our kid is a 9th grader. It was rocky for them socially because they didn’t go to Hardy for middle school. (Note: we are a Ward 3 family and opted for charter for MS). Heard the Hardy kids are a bit clique-y. They now have friends from other parts of the city so are way happier.
Our kid is not an extrovert so the “lack” of lots clubs isn’t a problem.

School spirit: it’s only 2 years old so they are still building school traditions. They’ve had a few socials which our kid went to and liked.

Academics: they are appropriately challenged and the homework is manageable. They have a lot of support in the pre-AP classes to get them ready for 10th grade AP classes. Their teachers seem to genuinely care about the kids well being. I was pleasantly surprised that the gym classes also teach the kids how to plan weekly workouts and emphasize instilling a general movement practice over being a stellar athlete.

Fights: there have been one or two at lunchtime but nothing hugely disruptive.

Drop off: it’s fine as long as you drop your kids off a few blocks away. A lot of kids take the buses so there can be a bit of a back up on MacArthur.

Hope this is helpful to some.[/quote]
