[quote=Anonymous]I am asking this following a conversation with a person I absolutely trust and has first-hand information about a nearby private high school. This private high school received last year twice as much the"normal" number of applications from Deal families compared to the previous years.
Anecdotal talks and exchanges in my neighborhood tell me that Deal's community confidence  in Wilson has been negatively affected by: 1) the change in leadership (a trusted principal being arbitrarily replaced by an outsider,  who seems to be struggling to establish her way in such a complex school and system); 2) by last year's loaded gun episode; 3) and now by the worsened PARCC outcomes (regardless of the explanation re. the conflict with the APs tests and DCPS mismanagement).

I am very interested in hearing Deal parents' views. We are considering returning IB, after 3 middle school years at a good charter and almost 1,000 hours spent in commuting time, we can't take no more. Wilson is a 15 minute bike ride.
