[quote=Anonymous]Deal is perceived as the strongest DCPS middle school in the city. it is also huge -- which is a plus or minus, depending gon your child. Hardy is perceived as improving to good. It is a much smaller school and doesn't have as many elective and extracurricular options as Deal. Right now, the majority of students at Hardy live outside the attendance zone. Many attended one of the feeder schools as an OOB student and continued to Hardy, or they entered Hardy via the citywide lottery at 6th. Many families in the Hardy zone attend private school and others don't think the school is yet strong enough for their academically strong children. It's school open house season in DC -- I'd suggest you visit both, and then find the best house you can. Real estate is tight in both areas so you should probably focus on the house you live knowing that either school is going to be ok. [/quote]
