[quote=Anonymous]I also depends on the luck-of-the-draw regarding what teachers your kid gets. I've had 3 kids go through Deal. One had fabulous teachers for 3 years. One had his English teacher walk out in October of 6th grade and not be replaced until March and then had an 8th grade English teacher who essentially taught nothing (since fired). So this kid basically had ONE year of ELA at Deal. My third is currently at Deal and has a really solid team of teachers for 6th grade. Some of her friends do not. In a school with this many staff members the quality will naturally be uneven. We have our fingers crossed for 7th grade. It is somewhat of a gamble each year. (it's also a gamble regarding which kids are on your child's team. It just takes a couple of really disruptive kids to turn a class or a team. Over-all we are pleased with Deal---but opinions of the school will vary immensely because of the above factors which also vary immensely from kid to kid. [/quote]
