No support for teachers. Asks to teach courses that require specialized training without providing training. Administration uses the unfair evaluation system to separate teachers they don't like even though those teachers performed above and beyond to produce impressive test scores. There is no parking available for teachers. 30 students in a classroom that can accommodate 20 max. No instructional support for special education students.

My son loves going to Key - he literally runs up the stairs each morning because he is so excited to learn. Every teacher and administrator with whom I've interacted has been warm, welcoming, and professional - they really care about the kids and the hard work they invest is evident. It's truly a neighborhood school, even in a neighborhood where many families could afford to send their kids elsewhere, and in many ways the heart of the community. We feel lucky to be part of it.

I rate Hardy as a Great Middle School. It reflects, embraces, and has built the character of the school around the diversity of DC. There is no other middle school in DC with the breadth and depth of course offerings as Hardy. It is a smaller school while still having enough students for all students to find friends. I highly recommend Hardy!
