[quote=Anonymous]They are never going to open a MS on the Hill where Brent, Maury, SWS, and LT are feeders and another MS where all the Title 1 schools feed.  That obviously would never ever ever happen for many reasons including that it probably would be illegal.

I haven't run the numbers but it seems like if every single ES on the Hill fed into one MS, that would most truly resemble Deal.  Deal is absolutely enormous.  There is a wide, wide, range of diverse students with varying abilities and because of sheer numbers there is a strong cohort of high-achievers (along with everything else).  Deal is not great because every single kid is honors level.  It is great (among other reasons) because they have the numbers to support kids at every level, including honors.  They also have the numbers to support a robust program of extra-curriculars that are simply unsurpassed elsewhere in DCPS, and probably most other middle schools nationwide.   I could conceive of this working on the Hill if they could find the real estate for a Deal-like school, but it seems unlikely that this would happen given current dynamics.  [/quote]
