[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had two who have gone from Deal to Big 3. What you are experiencing is not our experience at all. They were well prepared and have excelled-- without supplemental help or CTY or anything else. My last is in Deal now and we are sorry to leave the school behind. He has been accepted into 4 private high schools.  I think my kids are smart but they aren't standouts at all. They are just hard workers and well prepared. [/quote]

This doesn't actually rebut what the OP said, though.   [/quote]

Everyone's experience is different.  Every year is different, every team is different, every teacher is different, every class mix is different, every child is different.  No one is discounting OP's experiences.  These other posters are just saying this has not been their experience at Deal.

I'm a new poster. I have a kid at Deal and two more headed that way.  The school is very well run administratively and my oldest absolutely loves it. She's learning and growing and is mostly engaged (as previously noted, you're going to run into a few dud teachers everywhere).  I would certainly recommend the school to anyone who has access.

Of course, if you feel your kid isn't challenged, then as a parent, it's your duty to figure out how to make that happen whether that involves supplementing or meeting with the school's administration to see if anything can be done there.   However, you should understand, that what described is "your" experience. It may or may not necessarily point to an issue with the school or its curriculum, just as the fact that my kid is thriving, doesn't mean the school is perfect.[/quote]
