And, finally, for all the Deal bashers here, it IS a great place.  The team approach keeps it small, and I can say especially over the last two years DD has had uniformly amazing teachers.  I don't know who you've had.  [b]I'm sorry your snowflake can't handle the size, I'm sure when you pick their classes for them in college it will be better.[/b][/quote]
The bolded was totally unnecessary.  No sympathy for you.

It's not clear how you know that Wells won't cut it, given that it's a NEW school (how can it have "abysmal test scores"?), and if it drew on students from, say, Shepherd and Lafayette, should be pretty well set up for success.  Rezoning a school to deal with overcrowding isn't a "social justice warrior" social engineering experiment, it's a response to demographic facts.  Deal and Wilson are growing and have or will exceed their capacity.  Some schools currently zoned for Deal/Wilson will probably need to be rezoned.  Proximity to the new schools is a relevant and reasonable factor.  Screaming about moving is just fear of change--some things will have to change, no one wants it to be them.   Eaton didn't want to be rezoned to Hardy, but those families are dealing with the change and the sky hasn't fallen yet.  Calling other kids "snowflakes" isn't a solution.  [/quote]

Wells test scores will be abysmal because the test scores at the feeder elementary schools to Wells are abysmal. [/quote]
