[quote=Anonymous][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]

Presumably Hardy will shrink OOB spots as IB enrollment climbs, no?[/quote]

DCPS is moving toward finally closing Fillmore as part of this dynamic..  and the Eaton kids that would've gone to Deal are shifting to Hardy... so have to factor that in (so some of the change would be those kids moving from one MS to the other, but back to Wilson for HS).[/quote]

If Principal Pride is able to reclaim all of the 3rd floor, she could grow enrollment. But during the open house she said that in her opinion a right-sized 6th grade class would be 150 students. Right now, there are about 135 students per grade. So growing that class size by 15 kids. She said she doesn't want the school to grow too quickly. And to be clear, if Fillmore is closed, it is NOT because Hardy is trying to expand. She also made it clear that she'll be paying close attention to her feeder elementaries in trying to make educated guesses of how many kids will enroll next year so that she can argue for a reasonable number of OOB slots awarded via the lottery and not over extend the school.
