[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: You drive me nuts. You made up those numbers. There is no reason to do that, except to have fun at the expense of the ignorant masses. Your sentiment is correct: there is more than enough IB students to fill Hardy to the gills.

By the way, has everyone seen this map? http://www.21csf.org/csf-home/DocUploads/DataShop/DS_16.pdf

It shows Hardy enrollment in 2005-2006. There were 405 students. 94 came from ward 3 (so in-bounds) and another 26 from ward 2 (mostly all in-bounds). So, we're talking about 33% in-bounds during a time in which Deal was openly accepting all Mann students (and I presume other schools). This should shut up the folks saying the IB folks never supported the school.

It should also -- thank god -- shut up the fool driveling on and on about this being a bait-and-switch. The claim is that Hardy will just increase OOB enrollment as IB enrollment goes up. This begs two questions: why hasn't enrollment been raised already? Surely there are more kids starving for the 2nd best middle school in DC. And, why wasn't enrollment higher in the past so that more OOB students could be accommodated (since the higher IB numbers surely pushed them out)? As the enrollment is pretty much the same ten years later, it sure seems like the size of the school is roughly fixed. [/quote]

Given that the map is from 2005-6 and it shows Hamilton Education Campus, I'd assume it had something to do with that move. Hardy was moved to northeast for a couple of years while it was renovated. That's what really, really killed it as an in-boundary school.[/quote]
