[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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.

[b]Keep in mind that a lot of Deal students are IB for Hardy.[/b] When Hardy is considered equal that will stop [/quote]

Deal is not supposed to be accepting OOB students. What does this mean? Are you referring to IB Hardy parents who falsify documents, use someone else's address, or rent a cheap efficiency apartment (in which they do not actually live) in order to get IB Deal status for their children's middle school years?[/quote]

no, chill out. I am talking about families who live IB for Hardy and either lottery into a Deal feeder for 5th or rent out their house, live IB for Deal for the three years, and then move back home for high school whether it is Wilson or SWW or wherever. I don't know how many people overall do this but I know firsthand that some do and no-one will bother with that hassle after Hardy improves. I am betting it's already less common.

I've only ever heard of few/couple of these instances.  It's a huge hassle on the families  [/quote]
