[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who lives next to Hardy and walks by it every day when the kids are arriving, I can say that the school appears to be extremely diverse by this region's standards. [b]Lots of white, black and Asian kids. A smattering of Hispanics. The Asian cohort is actually outsized relative to their population in DC, IMHO. [/b]

It reminds me of my own extremely diverse public high school experience in Southern California (a good thing, imho). [/quote]

I'm a PP IB for Deal.  I was curious about this and just looked up the DCPS profiles for Hardy vs. Deal.  I see that the Asian % at Hardy (10%) is more than twice that at Deal (4%).

What's up with that?  Is there a neighborhood IB for Hardy that has a lot of Asians, or one of the feeders?  Just curious, and am 1/2 Asian myself.[/quote]

Well either more Asian students live IB, or they lottery in from other parts of the city. Since few, if any, can lottery into Deal, there you will only find Asians who live in the attendance zone.

Fun with numbers: In raw numbers Deal has more Asian students (60 v. 37) since it is larger. Similarly, Deal has more black students than Hardy has total students.

The only factors for people who have the option of weighing a choice between these schools is size and IBMYP versus traditional curriculum (and apparently uniforms).[/quote]

The demographics for Hardy - as a small school - will continue to change dramatically in the next year or two also...  so would keep an eye out for the differences next year even if you are following trends.[/quote]

They won't change much if DCPS maintains roughly the same OOB enrollment even as IB goes up.  DCPS doesn't want to face the resulting political sh*#storm from cutting OOB much at Hardy.[/quote]
