Enrolling approximately 500 students in Grades 6-8, Hardy Middle proudly welcomes a diverse student body.

In addition to its core curriculum, Hardy Middle offers foreign language instruction in Spanish, Italian and Chinese and a school-wide enrichment model for advanced learners.

I did not enjoy my time at this school there was very poor school-parent communication. Also, they did not take into account my 504 for the entire year so this school almost made me redo a grade because the people there were not do ing their jobs.
