Sigh....just giving this quote from the previous thread a bump.

To pp:  you are an idiot.  DCPS is putting tons of resources into Hardy - the problem is that everybody seems more interested in complaining and whining about how many IB students are attending than in observing the actual facts of what is happening at Hardy.

"DCPS has put tons of new resources into Hardy. They added the gifted and talented program plus more honors courses and extra differentiation.

But nobody seems to care about this actual fact; instead we get 50+ pages boiling down to "Yeah, but how many white kids go there?"[/quote]

It's an urban myth that DCPS has been pouring resources into Hardy. Hardy's per-pupil is $9253 for FY14, which is the third lowest of any middle school in the system. The DCPS average for middle school is $10,733 and it ranges as high as $14,108.

Hardy has been adding programs, but they are unfunded mandates -- DCPS isn't giving any additional funding for them. Hardy has been forced to find the money for these programs by economizing elsewhere.

Numbers are here:
