101 offer for 6th grade at Hardy is crazy!!
The school leadership have been saying the school is overenrolled.  How does this work?[/quote]

Yeah, I’m curious about this. They only had 2 available lottery seats for 6th grade, but made 101 offers to fill those two seats?[/quote]

No. Hardy is always assuming that some number of kids who are inbound and/or come from feeders will enroll each year. They need to be conservative here, as they are required to take all those kids. So, not being sure how many that would be, they only offered up two lottery seats.

But then, the number of kids inbound/from feeders was probably way less than they anticipated. So they had tons of extra seats available for OOB kids.

My guess is, especially before August, very few people turn down Hardy waitlist offers. [/quote]

I think it’s because of the feeder change.  No more JR.  It’s now to MA which has not gotten buy in from IB families.  It’s title 1, poorly performing, limited in curriculum, EC, and sports.

So more IB families from feeders are not going the Hardy route so more seats for OOB.  [/quote]

No. The people entering 6th now know that 
MacArthur will be very different by time they get there *because* there is no longer an option of J-R.[/quote]

Yes, the people entering 6th now know that and why Hardy is not getting as many IB families going to Hardy for 6th.

Nothing has changed except the feeder and Hardy has gone thru their waitlist a lot deeper than previous years.  This tells you that this year, many less IB families enrolling for 6th.[/quote]

How has the feeder changed? The kids starting 6th grade at Hardy in the fall of 23 and 24 were also slated for MacArthur. [/quote]

No, only kids starting 6th in the fall of 24.
Those who started in the fall of 23 had a choice between McArthur and Jackson-Reed. [/quote]
