[edit] Syrian population
You've got to be kidding me if you think that just 16.4% of Deal's residence are Syrian. The number exceeds that more than double or even triple!!!David Betesh 17:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've partaken of the fine kosher dining in Deal, and agree that the number seems low. The U.S. Census 2000 data for Deal shows 16.8%, but that is not appreciably higher than the 16.4% from the source provided in the article. Please remember that we can't use best guesses and that everything must be backed up with appropriate sources. Alansohn 18:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- During the summer months, the number balloons to much more than 16.4%, as many Syrians who live in Flatbush for most of the year move to their houses in Deal. I wouldn't know how to find that kind of statistic, though. --DLandTALK 23:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- I've been to Deal in the summer and I don't doubt that the Syrian population balloons at that time of year. But census data is based on year-round residents. Alansohn 23:59, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- I go to Deal many times in the summer and I can say that the Syrian population balloons probably to way over 50% in the summer, it's just that the 16.4% are the only ones that live there year round, as it is almost entirely a summer community. Mac Domhnaill 21:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schools
There is no chance in hell residents of Deal are sedning their children to school in Asbury Park. Can we get the names of some private [probably Jewish] schools students attend after 8th grade?
Almost all of the Jewish residents of Deal are only there in the summers (and most of those that live there year round are retired), the majority of residents live in Brooklyn during the year. There are no Jewish Schools in the area that I know of. 24.187.51.220 21:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
There is a Deal Yeshivah on Wall Street in West Long Branch. There is also an Ilan High School for girls and the well-known yeshivah Hillel.

Asbury Park High School is the public school that residents of Deal attend if they want to attend public high school. I lived in Deal from 1955-1971 and attended and graduated from Asbury Park H.S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.56.46 (talk) 05:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
