[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, commuting distance doesn't really matter once your kids hit middle school. Both Deal and Wilson are accessible via Metro or bus and middle and high school children are old enough to commute alone.

Most students at Deal are working above grade level, in fact the majority of students are doing the advanced math track.

At Wilson, while there are kids who are not at grade level, students who are can find classes that challenge them by choosing advanced or AP classes. You get the advantages of a large school -- lots of extra-curriculars, school plays, sports, newspaper.  The application schools can match some of the academics (but choices are more limited) but not the extras or facilities.

Really? More than half of Deal students are taking algebra in grade 7, geometry in grade 8, and are ready for algebra 2 in 9th? That seems really high.

For comparison, I have a child going to Hardy and the number is still much lower there. I believe it's <10% above grade level math (algebra in grade 7), and 20% on grade level in math (algebra in grade 8).[/quote]
