[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more students will now stay for 5th grade but I am not sure this means that they will go to Hardy in larger numbers. [/quote]

Parent from 5th grade Hardy feeder here (not from Mann). PP is most certainly a parent of younger kids.

Only parents who have been through 4th and 5th grade (in a Hardy feeder ES) know the kind of peer pressure and anxiety cross-contamination that happens during 4th and then again 5th grade.

In 4th grade you get the vibes and anxiety from parents applying to independent schools and to Basis/Latin. In 5th grade, in addition to the same vibes from the application/lottery process, you get the vibes from the parents who are positive about Hardy. I can ensure you that their vibe can be very contagious...

Social peer pressure (at both kids and parents level) significantly affect school choice in Ward 2 and Ward 3. More parents postponing MS decisions to 5th grade will most certainly mean more parents will be in contact with peers heading to Hardy .[/quote]
