[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal boundaries do not have similar IB demographics than Hardy boundaries. At all !!!!

Just compare the mean house value in Georgetown, Wesley Heights, Foxhall, Spring Valley (West of Mass; The East section feeds into Deal), to the mean house value of Deal boundaries. Maybe just Glover Park and part of Palisades can compare to a small and wealthier portion of Deal boundaries. Just open Zillow.com, and fly over the Hardy boundaries to see a sequence of areas populated with only multi-million houses: fly over Foxhall Ave, over Wesley Heights, over Spring Valley West. Miles and miles of houses above one, or two, or above six million dollars!!...

Those who claim that the demographics are comparable do not know anything either about Hardy boundaries, nor about how they look like.

Most families in the Hardy boundaries are just not interested in public schools, in general or after 4-5 years in their cute walkable elementary school (Mann, Key).

95% of the entries in this thread are written by people who have no real knowledge of the recent dynamics of Hardy, of the feeding neighborhoods etc. and just launch naive ideas .

People who say that the demographics is the same as Deal , lack basic knowledge of the real facts of these boundaries.

People who talk about focus group lack basic knowledge of what Hardy's efforts of reaching out to feeding schools have been in the past year (maybe just ask your PTO President, since feeding school PTOs have held regular meetings with Hardy administrators and DCPS during the whole past year).[/b]

Please get a life away from Hardy , or drop your mouse, come and gather first hand information, from the school administrators, from your feeding school PTOs, or take a drive through Georgetown, Wesley Heights, Foxhall, Spring Valley West of Mass. (and then through the Deal neighborhood) if you really want to have an understanding of the picture.

Hardy is doing great, academically, logistically, behaviorally etc. The school is taking off with feeder schools and IB families.

If you are interested come see the school and talk to the people in charge at the school. if you are not interested, then please move to another thread. Have a life away from Hardy.

These meetings, in bold -- this is another good sign of progress. What have been the outcomes of these meetings, in terms of next steps to recruit IB students and make changes to attract them?
