[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC native here. The middle school was Bertie Backus not Bernie Bacchus!  [/quote]

NP here.  The misspelling of Backus hardly invalidates the PP's point.  Anyone whose read Roman mythology could easily make the same trivial mistake.

The larger one is to assume that somehow the parents of Ward 3 organized themselves a great middle school.  The PP is right: Deal was crappy just like all the other DC MS options and it got desperately needed renovations (which no-one else except Hardy got) and a good principal.  It actually remains to be seen what the ultimately quality of the school really is.  It manages to get outperformed by some charters despite all its wealth, which is pretty sad.  But the inequity is quite clear: no other middle schools got what Deal got.  So if someone from Ward 5 or 6 or 7 or anything else as long as its in DC "sneaks" their way into Deal I will not care.  And I'll call you out for being an asshole if you do.[/quote]

No one said the mispelling invalidated PPs point.  But I'd like to see compelling proof that more than one charter outperformed Deal.  Also proof that Deal's population is overwhelmingly wealthy.
