Let’s hope so! It would be great if there were a bunch of solid middle schools.

There are a few, they just aren't run by DCPS.

I don't think Deal and Hardy parents are throwing stones on here. I can't think of a single reason why any Deal parent would want Hardy to fail or to not thrive - Deal is bursting at the seams so other middle schools excelling will only benefit Deal. And I don't recall reading any posts from actual Hardy parents bad mouthing Deal.

There is a parent on here who several years ago had a bad experience at Hardy (and her story if you've read it makes no sense) and she is constantly bad mouthing Hardy. And for good measure also bad mouths Deal.
