However you slice it, it's a real drag that most of the parents with children in the majority UMC DCPS Hill elementary programs feel they can't afford to stay for 5th grade when many would clearly like to.  This certainly isn't the story in Upper NW, where Deal appeals to most in-boundary families.

One set of public school opportunities WotP and a diminished set EotP for taxpayers in the same tax brackets.[/quote]

But would Deal have happened if parents didn’t all keep their IB kids in DCPS? So many good private schools west of the park. . . [/quote]

Yes, so many good private schools charging 30-40K a year...

Deal parents can keep their IB kids in DCPS without sacrificing rigor in the same way EotP parents can, given the interface between demographics WotP and the results of DCPS policies on academic ability grouping at the MS level (just for math and foreign language, and English at Stuart Hobson).  Most Deal students test proficient, and around one-third test advanced.  This just isn't the case in DCPS middle schools in Wards 5,6,7 and 8.[/quote]
