[quote=Anonymous][b]I worry about the facilities at these DC charters, and DCPS middle schools other than Deal, which seem minimal by comparison. Anybody else concerned? [/b] I'm concerned, too. In the debate about the pros and cons of Basis' curriculum, and lack of social promotion and selective admissions, concern over quality of the physical plant has largely been lost in the shuffle. We left Two Rivers after 5th for parochial partly because the MS facilities didn't amount to much. These charters do seem to have a terrible time finding and financing good MS and HS facilities. Deal's are the best for MS but nothing to write home about compared to Mo. Co or Fairfax. Poor and mediocre facilities are a problem that should get more air time but doesn't in a system where so many kids lack basic skills, and so many families worry mainly about academics at neighborhood schools, at least past ES.
