[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]   It is not fair that there is only one incredibly great middle school in this vast city, and that school happens to be zoned for families who can otherwise afford to send their offspring to a private institution offering the same advantages.[/quote]

Not true.  There are more probably more families in the Deal boundary area that can afford private school than in other areas of the city but not  everyone can.  We absolutely cannot and the majority of families that we know at Deal cannot.    Also, not everyone in Deal boundary wants to go to private and certainly they have as much right to a good public education as anyone else.  Your worry about your child's education is totally understandable, but claiming "not fair" is way off the mark.  This did not happen overnight, there has been great leadership at Deal, a renovation, community support and an economic downturn (spurring more people to stay in public).  Many things contributed to what now looks like a great middle school by any standards, not just DCPS standards.  Please commit your time and energy to develop a middle school model in Ward 5 that you would be proud of.  It will help your children and many others.  It will also help keep Deal from becoming overcrowded with children who are attending under less than honest circumstances.[/quote]
