[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few points:
My (not star) rec league LAX player made the team at Deal.   They had cuts but the bar is pretty low.

Deal now has an Ice Hockey team - no cuts.

Regarding the teachers - my experience is I could not ask for a better teaching team.   They work really well with my DS.

Depending on how you define diversity / mix of kids, you can either make Deal look that way or not.   There are many international families a Deal or children of families who work for DOS and have lived around the world - but a previous poster mentioned the students at Hardy coming from the Chinese Embassy.   Do both of these count for diversity? [/quote]

That’s not really considered ‘DC diversity.’  Diversity in the DC context is a rather binary construct.[/quote]

I talked about the mix of kid earlier. I am not referring to race. I am talking about the overwhelming number of kids my daughter has met have been children of type-A wealthier parents who aren’t very nice. This subset on the Deal students Venn diagram contains multiple races and ethnicities, the common trait is competitive unfriendly children. I hope she keeps branching out to meet more kids. I would think Hardy has a larger distribution of incomes meaning less spoiled rich kids. My son attends a DCPS that has a larger FARMs ratio and the kids are much friendlier.[/quote]
