There is no city-wide arts program or pseudo-magnet at Hardy.  That died a few years ago when Pope was ousted.  Remember?  To appease the IB parents?  [b]Who are not flocking to the school as promised?[/b]  Yes, those families - who demanded things, got them, and then [b]still didn't show up.[/b]Why in the hell would anyone open up a new school for them?   Do know which ward has the most children in public school?  (Hint: it's east of the river.)

Meanwhile, there's a new MS set to open in Brookland, which will probably be underenrolled.  Jefferson and Elliot Hine are underenrolled.  Ward 4 wants a unicorn McFarland, which after decades of being underenrolled finally closed.  Maybe the city can waste tens of millions restoring it so that it too, can be underenrolled.  There's always Shaw Middle, which could be renovated and underenrolled.

Meanwhile Deal is bursting at the seams.  Latin has LONG WL.  Basis has a WL for 5th.  Brand new DCI is fully enrolled.

[b]Kaya told the truth when she said DCPS doesn't do MS well.[/b]  Do NOT spend more money on a Hardy unicorn.  Total waste of resources.

[i]There's about 56 kids in 6th grade who are IB or from feeder schools. IB kids are about 34. There's no way to have an official statement in this sense or a certified declaration If you need confirmation call Ms Pride or wait for the school profiles to be released. Source: Principal Pride and PTO rumors. [/i]

Maybe 34 isn't a flock. Its enough to break through the prisoners dilemma.   Next year should be higher (but lets wait to take bets till the 34 is official.)

This could be the first sign that DCPS  CAN do MS well  - and will promise well for the new schools EOTP. If anything, it suggest rather less need for charter middle schools.   [/quote]

Why is it the charters' job to slow down instead of DCPS's job to catch up?  There must be at least 34 IB kids at Latin.  And Basis.  [/quote]
