Alice Deal Middle School is the largest DCPS middle school serving close to 1500 students. Our students come from all 8 wards across DC. We are a school representing DC's diverse communities. Our students strive for excellence and our teachers support them with care and creativity!

According to recently released NAEP report cards, nationwide we are seeing the largest score declines in mathematics, U.S. history and civics at grades 4 and 8 since initial assessments in 1990!

Supplemental funding from the Alice Deal Community Association (ADCA) will help fund our summer learning programs.

Much of Deal's summer programming cost is funded by ADCA donations. Programs benefit all students with a commitment to education.
RISE: Deal's summer orientation for incoming 6th grade students helps build confidence for a strong start to the school year.
SMAC: Deal's summer math acceleration program helps advance students to High School math programs while still in middle school.
SMILE & ELAvate summer programs help students performing below grade level improve in math and ELA.
⅓ of Deal students attend one or another of our summer programs. That's almost 500 students!
Deal teachers give their time during the summer to teach these programs. Staying connected and building rapport with students year-round.

Learning loss during the summer disproportionally affects disadvantaged students and can be estimated at a third of a year's learning. All summer programs help prevent this "summer slide" keeping students focused and engaged.
