[quote=Anonymous]Smaller schools are better for students on so many levels.  There's been ample data to support this for more than a generation at the elementary level.  More recently, researchers are turning to middle and high schools to see if the same holds true.  It's my understanding that so far, it does.

So that's a point in Latin's favor.  Also, there's the language instruction which is amazing.  And, the fact that Latin goes all the way through HS.

Deal has a newer facility.  And the IB component is really nice, although the real jewel of the IB program is the IB diploma which is just the last couple years of high school.

Hard to say how to interpret "bullying."  I'd be curious to know how this is significantly different from any other middle school.  After all DCPS schools could have much more serious problems, but theirs don't get the spotlight of the charter board.

In the end, you're talking about what are arguably the two best public middle schools in DC.  If you get into both, then you've got the luxury of a difficult choice.  I agree with the PP that it really depends on your child.[/quote]
