[quote=Anonymous]We also know a few families who are leaving or have left Deal. Our middle schooler is having a great experience and thriving. Agree with PP that a large city public school works for some kids and it doesn't for others. You will likely hear vastly different experiences. Some like your friend and others like ours who are doing great. We thought our introverted kiddo might have a harder time but they have made lots of new friends and are really doing great in all ways - academically, socially, emotionally, participating in clubs and activities, and just coming into their own.  We have been really impressed with teachers, staff, and administrators over the past 2 years. There are some gaps, like Spanish teacher on maternity leave and no long term sub, but that is a district-wide problem and not unique to Deal. The problems like that have far outweighed the really caring, engaged, and thoughtful teachers we have had across the past few years.

IMO, a lot of the behavioral issues right now are as a result of the after effects of COVID isolation from 16 months of virtual school, that has wreaked havoc across schools all over the country.  For that reason, I also wouldn't base what is happening this year on what to expect two years from now. [/quote]
