Stoddert looks lovely! How long does it take to do something like that and how much would it cost?

Key, Mann, Stoddert and Hardy were all built at the same time from the same plan. The modernizations varied from under $10mm for Key to around $20mm for Mann. Modernization takes about a year.

The Old Hardy now Lab School on Foxhall Rd is very close to Hardy MS. How would DCPS justify adding another ES so close to Hardy MS when IB % is so low now?  [/quote]

IB participation at middle school and elementary school are two different things. Neighboring Key, Stoddert and Janney are the most crowded elementary schools in the system and all have effectively stopped taking OOB students. Stoddert is waitlisting IB kids with siblings for pre-K.

Right now Key, Mann and Stoddert suffer significant erosion in enrollment in the upper grades. If Hardy ever starts attracting in-boundary kids in numbers those schools are going to explode. Hence the comment that DCPS is making a long-term bet against Hardy MS by disposing of this property.
