[quote=Anonymous]^ Deal parent applying to privates for 7th who craves advanced English and science classes. DC isn't challenged much in either area. Math is fine. We don't name names here on DCUM but a couple of his teachers are focused on bringing up the bottom, mostly OOB kids who lotteried in, short-changing the most advanced kids. Other parents we know are also seriously considering leaving, meaning that 8th grade will almost certainly be that much less challenging than 6th. If privates and the burbs are offering more challenge for advanced learners who are eager for it, some of the parents you probably want to keep will sacrifice to find it elsewhere. Deal has both a marketing problem and a challenge problem for too many kids. It also has a social problem with rowdy, below-the-curve kids disrupting classes and causing mayhem in the hallways and lunchroom. Good for BASIS for tracking for MS English and science. [/quote]
