[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are OOB Hearst parents and have friend with kids at IT (2nd, and preschool). They are excited to be at a well regarded charter and to have met other cool well educated parents, my one friend with a 2nd grader says her DD loves her teacher and they think the work group model has been good for her. If you haven't toured both campuses definitely do so asap. 
We moved to Hearst from our darn-good EOTP DCPS because of the higher test scores, the dedicated green space - check out the oak tree lined soccer field - the slightly better income and racial diversity, feeds to Deal and Wilson, location next door to Sidwell, but also the incredible array of after school activity choices the PTA has arranged, offered right on campus (karate, dance, robotics, Spanish, art, sports teams etc. etc. ) 
I'd say you are in a great position to be choosing between the two schools. And yes the commute is a major factor, do not underestimate what a pain in the ass it might be if one of the two school locations is a problem for you.  Especially if you have a wide bodied SUV, trying to squeeze down DC streets cross town with the other time-stresses parents is no picnic. [/quote]

IT parent here. Hearst sounds amazing (especially the aftercare)! Congrats OP/PP that has the choice. I say check them both out in person and figure out commute before school gets out so you have a good sense of commute for both during the school year. [/quote]
