[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.

Asians don't really count as diversity in DC.[/quote]
