[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what people on the Hill did was try to engage in improving their middle school.  It's a long, long, long, long story.  And the history of Deal and Hardy goes way back too.  But really, that's the path forward.  Feeder elementary parents trying to support their middle school and advocate for better support from DCPS.  Have you thought about getting involved?  You might find it really rewarding.[/quote]

OP again. Oh I know, I have friends that went to Deal 20+ years ago and can tell you how it's changed. Our family is moving out of the area in about 5 years, but I totally agree and hear a lot of parent talk about this at our school. It's tricky because Wells and MacFarland dual language program are both new and a lot of parents of younger kids speak very optimistically about the on-paper offerings. I'm not green enough to think that these parents will send their kids to those schools en masse, but it will be interesting to see whether a cohort do. We won't be here to see it, but I don't think it's impossible and would end up even being good for those charter families' property values![/quote]

Do you mean those DCPS parents' property values? [/quote]
