Hardy is arguably much better than deal due to size, etc.
momentum has shifted.


Hardy might not have as large size classes but no, I would hardly say it’s better than Deal.


Why don't you think it is?

Unless you are in upper NW, many, in fact most middle class kids leave DCPS during lower to mid elementary. They move to charters, private, or families move to burbs. Not many stay till 5th so your numbers above are really not accurate of the picture going on here. At least they are not accurate of EOTP schools.


To add that the exception might be Capitol Hill DCPS elementary schools

We’re sending our kids to MacFarland. Realize if you aren’t a frequent commenter that the commentariat here isn’t that broadly representative of DC parents.
