[quote=Anonymous]We also had a choice between EL Haynes and Two Rivers and ultimately chose Two Rivers.  In my neighborhood, there are kids who go to both schools, and I've heard great things about both. We have been very happy with TR -- it is a very warm community with great teachers and families and super communication/responsiveness from staff. Their test scores continue to rise even though there is no teaching to the test whatsoever. For our kids, the ELOB model has worked great. They are very excited about school and they are thriving emotionally and academically. The reason we did not choose ELH was that we felt they were not as committed to the expeditionary (i.e., ELOB) learning model, and they were more focused on academic achievement and testing (e.g., see the ELH DC CAS Rap on Youtube, which really is kind of cool, but not our speed). All that said, I do sometimes long for the year-round model, and I admit that the ELH campus is much nicer in terms of greenspace.

The upshot: I don't think you can make a bad choice here. Good luck.[/quote]
