[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So our of curiosity -- For current Deal/JR parents (my kids are in a feeder in upper elementary) --

1. Have you seen the schools improve since you have been there? aka does it seem to be trending for the better or worse? 
2. I know JR is "overcrowded" but how many kids does it have now vs is capacity? Is the guess that JR will just go down 200 kids next year once McArthur opens or will they just have a increase in OOB kids they accept to fill the seats? [/quote]

Current JR parent here...the pandemic was handled very well by JR (then Wilson) in terms of kids having real, synchronous classes from 9:30-4pm 4 days per week (much, much more than Deal) and the teachers were amazing.  Things took a dive the first year back in person---there was an interim principal, a stupid 4x4 schedule, and a lot of behavior problems stemming from the pandemic.  Things are much better this year--back to the old alternating block schedule and the new principal is very good.  Overcrowding and teacher vacancies remain a problem but both are areas that are receiving attention.[/quote]
