[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle schools are the one place I have considered private.  More and more I think of middle school as the place our education system falls down.  Are there good private options?[/quote]

Middle school is hard across the board - public or private.  I know a few folks who put their kids in private for middle then sent back to Wilson.  The middle school years are tough ones.[/quote]

I agree.  Deal left me completely underwhelmed.  I would much rather see the JKLMs go Pre-K to 8 like a good private school.[/quote]

Current Deal parent here.  What was it about the school that you found underwhelming?  I am not being snarky, I am really curious.  I am curious because this is so different from our experience with Deal.  It has surpassed our expectations in almost every way.  I thank my lucky stars that Deal is our in-boundary school.  In fact, our JKLM ES is inferior to Deal in many ways (not just facilities) and it is Deal that kept us in DCPS.  Deal has a fabulous principal and the most responsive faculty and staff we have ever experienced.  Our academically advanced child is challenged and learning.  We are so happy that our child was able to start Deal in 6th grade instead of staying in elementary for that year.  So please, tell us what was so underwhelming.
As an aside, I know of several families that left both charters and privates for Wilson this year.  Not saying that everything there is golden right now but things are looking up.[/quote]
