[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:59 yet again. Deal Middle in DC is huge, but well-regarded. No personal experience yet (oldest in early elem.) but my neighbors say it's fantastic. They say it doesn't feel too big due to smaller "teams" that the kids are on.[/quote] Its no bigger than the MoCo middle schools.[/quote] Deal's 90 kid team/pod system is highly effective at creating a community and doing ability tracking for key subjects. MCPS no longer does ability tracking (protests may bring it back some day or subject by subject slowly), and does not have an effective team structure - my neighbor's 6th grader has a different set of 30-35 kids in each of her 7 classes. And then within each of those class is is one-third above avg, avg, and below avg students so good luck finding your people every 50 minutes. [/quote]
