[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are they doing at Deal that they are not doing at Stuart Hobson?[/quote]

Getting all the kids to perform at a much higher level.  Look at the PARCC scores.  The difference is really huge.

It’s not hard to have more challenging curriculum when your baseline starts at on grade level.[/quote]

And the Deal kids will be better prepared and do better in high school than the SH kids if they both went to the same high school.

The Deal kids will also have a much higher chance of getting into Walls or top privates in the city.  This then translate to better colleges.

I’m sorry but those that just look at middle school as a separate entity don’t get the big picture.  Middle school builds the foundation for high school which builds the foundation for college.

Find out the percentage of kids at SH who go onto competitive high schools like Walls or top privates.  I bet you it’s single digits.  Now look at the same comparison with the Deal kids.  [/quote]

I’m positive the grade level kids at SH do just as well as their peers at Deal. And where does your elitist nonsense end? If Deal is so superior, then a middle school in Bethesda or Fairfax is probably even better.  [b]If your standard is that your kid has to be exclusively surrounded by PARCC 4s and 5s there’s nowhere for it to end.[/b] And you should have moved to Fairfax or MoCo to get your brilliant yet unstable child into a magnet/AAP program, since they are so easily ruined by the hoi polloi.

These parents are exhausting. We've been happy with SH for our kids and they have gone on to great admissions high schools and haven't been at all behind kids coming from Deal or Hardy. [/quote]
