2R had scores in the mid 40s in 2005 (1st year taking). Looks about the same to me. If you're talking about a preschooler, if history proves right with strong charters like IT and 2R, by the time entering PSer reaches 3rd grade, the scores should be comparable.

21:37, did you take the 2R spot?

To put things in perspective, Stokes first year taking DC CAS the scores were 20s in math and 30s in reading. Cap City 40s and 30s, Haynes 40s and 20s.

Creative Minds. Think it's a better fit for a kid who doesn't like to sit still. But, we've had that spot for a bit and have been remiss in not relinquishing this other spot sooner.

And while some may succeed, their scores are still mediocre.

OP here re 2R vs IT. Thank you for all the comments; hadn't given much thought to traffic/commute, as it will be my DH who will be the driver. IT location is ideal, but am having a hard time letting go of expeditionary model. I know either would be great for my DS next year (ps3), but am thinking ahead to future years. At the end of the day, I want my DS to love learning and the 2R's model is unique and seems to foster this. Thoughts?

If love of learning is what you want to foster, I think IT will do that. My child can't wait to go back to school in a few weeks. I've heard so many parents in the upper grades say that their kids used to hate school, and now at IT they love going to school. Admittedly, I do not know a lot about 2R. I'm sure it's also great.

Loving school and doing well academically (at least being proficient) shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
