[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're trying hard to move a 30 million dollar plus renovation, planned for 2021 by DCPS and Bowser, up by a few years, and to build relationships with admins and the Jefferson parent organization.  All fine, it's the feeder problem that seems unworkable in under a decade.  Not nearly enough strong students in the pipeline from Tyler heading to Jefferson, and none in-boundary from Brent.  Also no 5th grade at Van Ness for another five years.  [b]If Brent, Maury and SWS[/b] fed to the same DCPS middle school, we'd have another Deal soon.  But nobody much lobbied for that several years back, and DCPS wasn't amenable anyway.

No one is amenable to that because picking those three schools out of the hat doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

If you look at the feeders for Hardy it's all relatively affluent neighborhoods.  It hasn't taken off because it's probably too affluent for public schools.  That's slowly changing as more students from feeders are staying.  Key, Mann, Stoddert, Hyde-Addison, Eaton -- that's a pretty impressive group of feeders and not a whole lot of FARMS in that lot.  It's OK for NW but not the Hill.  When Hardy turns DCPS is going to see a MS even more affluent and less diverse than Deal[/quote]

Hardy is still 15% IB.  Change isn't happening like many had hoped.  [/quote]

You're dead wrong.   Both Hardy for 6th and all of its feeders for 3-5 are offering way fewer OOB seats than in past years.  Your data is stale.  Talk to me in 3 years.[/quote]

This is true. At least in round 1 --

In 2015-16 Hardy offered 80 seats in the lottery for OOB students. For 2016-17 they offered 25.
