[quote=Anonymous]Deal offers acceleration only in math.  The difference is that the “middle” Deal student is going to be stronger than the middle SH, EH, or Jeff student.  And just looking at parcc scores from last year you can see there are a lot of kids performing above grade level, which is important for the peer group.  So depending on the teacher, more might be offered in Deal’s classes, and at the very least there might be fewer classroom distractions with the at-risk kids being a smaller percentage of the overall student body.  Deal also claims to be “IB,” although I’m not sure how or whether that impacts the curriculum.  In some ways SH offers more opps for cohorting- math, ELA, and foreign languages (they are required at deal but I believe optional at Hill schools).   It would be nice if there were more opps for this at Deal too because there are a lot of amazing teachers who spend too much class time dealing with behavior disruptions instead of teaching (not their fault) [/quote]
