[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]

Yes, but it's not an exact science. The lottery opens in January, at which time the schools indicate how many spots they propose to offer per grade (at least they've done this in the past...I'd argue that the schools should not be locked into awarding a certain number of OOB spots so early in the school year). This is months before IB/Feeder School families have to submit re-enrollment paperwork. If there are clear signs that Hardy feeders will be sending record numbers of rising 6th graders next year, I would hope that Principal Pride would wait to award OOB spots until after she knows how many kids she getting from the feeders. Keep as long a waitlist as you want, but wait to award spots until you know you have the spots.   [/quote]
