[quote=Anonymous]I think this depends on your child. Anecdotally, I know of some very bright kids who loved their Deal experience and others who were frustrated because their classes were slowed down to let other kids catch up. Our family chose not to use Deal because they don't track and don't offer advanced classes (except for math). Our DC was bored by the grade level curriculum at our JKLM, and was very unhappy with school as a result. We didn't see the point of repeating that for 3 more years at Deal, especially since Deal would have a much larger number of kids performing below grade level and Deal does not do "pull outs" unless kids are several grade levels behind. That was the right decision for our kid's personality and needs. But I'm sure there are bright kids who felt happy and challenged at their JKLM and continue to feel that way at Deal.[/quote]
