[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Racism, classism, elitism....faux-limousine liberals....or actual limousine liberals...take your pick. [/quote] this cannot be the reason, otherwise why is Deal 70% IB? minorities are over 50% at Deal and the IB percentage is very high.[/quote] Deal is viewed as a stronger school than Hardy, pure and simple. While Hardy may be better than many of the other middle schools in DC (and therefore Hardy is appreciated by its OOB families), many IB parents consider Hardy to be inferior compared with Deal and won't consider it for their kids. A Mitsubishi Mirage may look pretty good compared to a clunker but not compared to a Mercedes.[/quote] so you agree that racism, classism, elitism, faux or actual limousine liberals are not actually the reasons why so few IB parents send their kids to Hardy. just that the school is perceived as not as strong academically as Deal or other schools.
