[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]went to the Hardy open house last week.  3 of the feeders have added a fifth grade class & one added another 1/2... and Eaton is coming.  The overall DCPS enrollment for the coming years is bigger than the past.  Deal is too overloaded.  Bigger IB (and overall) Enrollment is Coming.[/quote]

Assuming this is true, this is not great news for Wilson, which is packed to the gills already without more people coming in from Hardy.

I'm not so sure. The number of IB students choosing Hardy is increasing and I really think next year we'll see a doubling of that percentage in the 6th grade. But I also think that many of those same students will look beyond Wilson for high school if their families determine that it's too crowded, not a good fit, too riddled by problems, etc. Many of those parents are able and willing to make the investment for private starting in high school, when it really matters for college. Plus SWW is a great option and depending on what happens with Duke Ellington, it could be a feasible option for arts-focused kids too. If anything, I bet Wilson's numbers with relation to students matriculating from Hardy will stay roughly the same.  I guess time will tell.   [/quote]
