[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  my son went to Deal for middle so has lots of friends.  We think it would be a great fit for him, but are trying to convince him of that.  I am worried about the male peer group.[/quote]

Are most of his friends from Deal also headed to Wilson?  Or are they headed elsewhere?

We are an AA family also zoned for Deal/Wilson, although we have a long time before having to make this decision.  Peer group would also be one of my concerns.  I'd worry if the high-achieving AA kids are headed elsewhere.[/quote]

Many of his friends from Deal are going to Wilson.  I live in Colonial Village.  He has lots of kids from the neighborhood going to Deal, but SW kids also feed into Wilson and I've heard that they can be a tough element.  It doesn't seem to appear to interfere with the white kids, but the black boys seem to have a harder time.[/quote]

The tiny part of SW that USED to feed to Wilson was not a bunch of tough elements. The ones you need to worry about come from feeder schools in NW.[/quote]

the HS schoolskids from SW almost all come from public housing.[/quote]
