[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that Deal only tracks for math, and will indefinitely from the sounds of it.  I say this because the "differentiated learning within the classroom approach" has worked less well for us with each passing year of elementary school as the gap between the kids who struggle (yes, mostly low-SES and AA, but certainly not all) and the advanced kids (yes, mostly white or Asian and high-SES, but certainly not all) grows.  My older child read all the Harry Potter books in the 3rd grade, where she sat alongide a few kids who struggled to read chapter books.  Since tracking for subjects other than math is almost certainly what it's going to take this particular child to be consistently challenged, it doen't sound like Deal would be good fit.  And I can't feel enthusiastic about the sounds of the non-academic facilities at Basis.  I'd really like a school with at least a gym and a stage/auditorium.
