[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I understood your point, PP. I was taking it to its logical conclusion: Don't pass on Hardy because of its lousy DCCAS scores. Pass on Hardy because of its 55% FARMs rate and 13% IB rate. "

Suppose the IB rate for 2014-2015 comes in at 15%, and the FARMS rate is down to 51%?   Would that (combined with academic improvements) convince you to try it?

Some of you don't have a lot of confidence in your own children if you think that the fact of them going to school with a bunch of poor kids is going to somehow ruin their lives or wreck their academic careers.   My kid went to Hardy, and it had the opposite effect - it made him a better student and better able to navigate the diversity of rich and poor and black and white the exist in DCPS and in the real world.[/quote]

That's fine, but its a pretty low bar to say that a school won't ruin your kid's life or wreck her academic career.  Shouldn't we demand better than that.  IMO diversity is fine but as a priority for us, it takes a back seat to rigorous academics and rich course and extracurricular offerings.[/quote]
