[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I have wide-ranging experience as a HS guidance counselor at DC privates and MoCo test-in publics. DC parents (or ex DC parents) I deal with who've come through Deal tend to assume that their students are as well-prepared as the strongest students coming out of top privates and suburban MS GT programs. In my experience, this is very seldom the case. Unless parents have supplemented extensively from the upper elementary grades, or their kids are geniuses, there's catching up to do. The fact is that Deal doesn't offer formal pullout groups, or advanced classes for advanced students, in any subject but math, which generally isn't well taught in even the best DCPS elementary schools. Deal certainly isn't a bad school, but it's not set up to cater to the strongest students. [/quote] You are talking about top privates and MS GT programs. Do you have experience with kids from average MS suburban schools?[/quote]
