[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Misfire...sorry.  Thinking of switching to Deal next year for 6th. Currently at a private school in DC but want more economic diversity, extracurrics, and different social experience.

What can we expect from above and from academics?[/quote]

Is Deal still economically diverse?  Maybe more than a typical private but isn't it almost entirely a WOTP school now?[/quote]

Deal is 70% IB, 12% economically disadvantaged and 47% white (see link). The boundary includes students from Bancroft and Shepherd, so it's not all WOTP.

It will be more economically diverse than a private where the tuition costs (even with financial aid) are so high... Next year, there will be a little shift at Deal & Hardy - when Eaton switches to feeding to Hardy.  Even if half of the 5th grade goes to Hardy, that dramatically changes Hardy's make up (since it's a small school) - and DCPS is looking at it as 'opening up' 40-70 slots at Deal for OOB or the rising feeder population #s ...  Not a ton of change, but has some impact (not saying it was a good idea, just a reality for this coming year)... and of course this then re-impacts the over crowded at Wilson issues (since Hardy's total #s will go up as part of this equation).[/quote]
