[quote=Anonymous]I think they will change. Will they be like Deal? No. But 10 years ago, was Deal like Deal is today? Also no. More and more middle/upper class families are moving to neighborhoods that have low-income people (Shaw, Petworth, SW, etc.) and if even a fraction of them stay and send their kids to school the schools will be different. Probably better in some but not all ways. It really only takes a few kids from well-educated families plus teacher getting a few kids from basic to proficient before there's a big change in proficiency rates. There are already families in SW who went private and say if Amidon 5 years ago was like it is now, they'd go. Others won't go unless it's 50% proficient, still others till 75%. Some will never go. But a refurbished school with some very good teachers and extracurriculars is still a step in the right direction.[/quote]
