Too many of these policies have resulted in poor kids smart or otherwise getting worse teachers, resources. I love having my kid at Deal, I know she is with peers that value education with parents that will invest in the school. However concentrated wealth is no better than concentrated poverty for the community I hope for her to inherit.
How kind and thoughful of you to consider the poor kids left behind while you your kid reaps the benefits of high SES parents fundraising/committment etc at Deal...and no doubt you can feed right on to Wilson. Quite frankly any parent with a kid already in the best middle school in DCPS should just stay out of this conversation. You have no idea the problems at the majority of DCPS middle schools. Deal is in a bubble. sure there are black kids but most have super committed families. So please be quiet while the rest of figure out how to solve DCPS middle school problems or get into a decent charter or just move.
