[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy is a great middle school option, with a lot less work for kids who are challenged at every level.[/quote]

....and now a brief message from our sponsors....[/quote]

PP here. Actually, my DC is at BASIS, but we are in the Hardy district and plan to send more humanities-minded DC2 there. I suggested it because there is usually not a waiting list and it is a solid school where it is easier to succeed, and where they do not hold you back for failing a class.[/quote]

However there is a waiting list for all grades at Hardy for fall 2015. I think the only DCPS middle school (not EC) without a wait list is Brookland.[/quote]

There are lots of DCPS middle schools with essentially no wait lists, at least after Round 1. Summing up all the grades 6-8 for schools where those were the only grades, the number of kids on the WL were:

0: Kramer, Sousa
1: Eliot-Hine, Hart, Johnson
2: Jefferson, Brookland
6: Kelly Miller
66: Hardy
139: Stuart-Hobson
299: Deal

There are really only 3 stand-alone DCPS middle schools that are at all hard to get into from OOB, and given that Hardy offered 100 OOB seats (S-H offered 9 and Deal offered none) I might even reduce that down to 2.
