[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people want to live in the Deal/Wilson zone because it's arguably the best public option DC has to offer right now. That doesn't make it someplace I want to send my child. Only 68 percent of Deal kids are proficient in reading and 55 percent in math. And it's huge. I haven't been impressed with anything I've seen or heard. Middle school is 6 years away for us. If things are significantly better by then, great. If not, we will either move or go private.

well la-di-da.  [/quote]

+1. Parents making Middle School decisions for their First Grader are comical and insane. OP ignore this woman. She is a know-nothing.[/quote]

:roll: Did you even read what I said? I'm NOT making decisions until the time comes. And to the PP: what have I seen? I've seen the unimpressive PARCC scores (which I cited). What have I heard? I've heard parents saying that their children feel lost at the massive school, that they teach to the middle and that if they had the option they would choose private for middle school. Some could move, but feel it's worth it for other reasons to stay in DC. Does every parent and every child feel that way? Of course not. But as for the the ones who I speak with in the neighborhood -- when they open up they confide that it's not all buttercups and rainbows. [/quote]

Definitely move or go private. Please.[/quote]

She’s not IB for Deal. She’s rationalizing.[/quote]
