[quote=Anonymous]All three of mine went to Deal/JR. We moved for it way back in elementary school. It is far from perfect but I have no regrets. Most of my kids teachers were solid. Few bad ones here and there. Few chaotic classes. My kids all did an academy at JR that upped the rigor and took a lot of AP classes. I still hate the Honors for All angle and there are way too many behavioral issues that get swept under the rug. But, so many of the teachers and staff care at both schools. My kids all came out knowing how to advocate for themselves and are going/went to good colleges. It is not a pressure cooker - though some kids do that to themselves. It has great diversity. Pretty much every kid can find their niche. Mental health of the students seems better than at other big high schools around. Lots of activities, clubs and sports. And if you live in Upper NW - your kid can walk to school for elementary/middle/high and their friends will be nearby. [/quote]
