[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the one hand I’ve heard that academically the school has been improving a lot. But then [b]I’ve heard compared to certain MS in Moco and Howard County its still well below where a great MS should be. [/b]It’s more of are we settling for the best DCPS has to offer? [/quote]

This so vague that it's pretty much meaningless.  What objective measures is statement this based on?  If no objective measures, do the people making these claims have experience at both Deal and MD middle schools?[/quote]

[b]I'd say that 99.9% of the people on DCUM claiming that one school system is better than another is doing so on speculation and hearsay rather than personal experience. [/b][/quote]

This was certainly our experience of sending a kid to Wilson years ago.  I think DCUM consensus has largely shifted on Wilson as it's become more white, but when DS started we heard all kinds of crazy offensive things both in person and on DCUM from people who had clearly never set foot inside the school.

OP, I'd talk with Hardy parents.  Also - yes, you may be "settling for the best DCPS has to offer", but our kid would absolutely not have traded their DCPS experience and DCPS friends for better academically performing schools in the suburbs.
