[quote=Anonymous]It depends how old your child is. Some areas zoned for Powell and West were zoned for Deal under the old boundaries. Those boundaries are being phased out, but some older grades have been grandfathered for a couple of years. Unless your child is old enough to qualify for the grandfathered Deal boundary, you're feed is Powell then MacFarland, which has a dual-language track to extend Powell's dual-language program. No public middle school is as well-regarded as Deal, so that's why it's seen as a let-down. However, DCPS basically started from scratch with MacFarland a couple of years ago as a dual-language middle school, so there's some potential. (And as DC middle schools go, there certainly could be worse.)[/quote]
