[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s interesting that both CMI and TR across the city are on the downswing. I never had a kid at either but I am part of the 2010s cohort where both were considered very positive options for PK. I feel like the intervening years have shown that a PK-8 school cannot succeed if its focus is mainly on happy-happy-joy-joy notions of project based nurturing, unless there is also a core of academic focus.[/quote]

Yes, I remember those days! I totally agree with you, but would add that TR really struggled administratively with the expansion and operating across three schools. Slow re-opening after Covid was also a factor. And the improvement of DCPS in the area.

Another poster on a different thread pointed out that MV and YY expansion as well as Latin expansion impacted CMI and I suspect TR felt some of this as well. Somehow ITDS is doing okay and I'm not sure why. Maybe because of leadership differences. Maybe because ITDS has pretty real academics to go along with the woo.[/quote]
