[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]40 feeder kids isn't a huge increase from last year. Hyde and Stoddert have always sent a good number of kids. Stoddert is becoming more IB but the older grades still has a out of OOB as does Hyde.

Pride was holding 50 spots for IB. Not feeder but IB. Missed it by a mile which is sad. [/quote]

WHO CARES????  you are clearly looking for way to justify your reason for NOT choosing Hardy.  Please leave us out of it.  And why do so many on this thread believe that the only kids worth attracting are those who live in the actual boundary?  Are you really implying that anyone outside of your zip code is substandard?

What is that all about?[/quote]

Arguably one reason people like a neighborhood school is that kids can socialize with kids they will see in the neighborhood.  Plus more IB will confirm the desirability - the test of the market. Hardy won't be "DC's second Deal" till the IB numbers are close to comparable, I guess.

That said, I think from the other thread that the IB numbers ARE up this year, and as others state, the increase in feeder numbers will make the school more attractive to IB families. [/quote]

But what are the current numbers?  If the school has them they should release them.  All this delay and rumor makes it seem like they are hiding the numbers.[/quote]

Have any school profiles been updated for the new school year? I can see why the principal might not want to give this (non)issue a whole lot of time and energy, but the IB percentage will be released at some point.[/quote]

Yes. The counting was done this week at Hardy. Figures will be out in a month, but the number will be a weighted average of all grades. 
The principal had to face parental anger at some point last year. Parents of enrolled students claimed she was devoting too much energy and time into school promotion with the feeder schools.  So I am not surprised she is being more cautious this year. After all, she is paid and has a duty to supervise the school operations for her current students, [b]not to amuse prospective parents.[/b][/quote]

Prospective parents, it should be said, who themselves are not very amused by the prospect of enrolling their kids at Hardy.[/quote]
