[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two Rivers (both 4th and Young) will have exhausted their WL in all grades by the time school starts. That is an astounding fall from grace for a once formerly high demand school. It saddens me. [/quote]

The upper grades and middle were never really high demand. It was built on assumptions about potential that never came through. [/quote]

Agreed, but I would say that TR4's reputation as already starting to suffer when we were doing the PK lottery back in 2018. We ranked our IB (L-T), SWS, CHML, ITDS, Lee Brookland, Tyler (now Chisolm), and Stokes Brookland all above TR4 even though it's a lot closer than many of those options. I remember touring it and thinking it felt kind of like the Appletree campuses -- a nurturing ECE program that would be a good safety if you didn't get into a school you liked more.

I do not remember people being particularly enthusiastic about TRY or the middle school at that time. I think people were always kind of skeptical of the location of that campus, and it's honestly not that convenient for people on the Hill. For us, ITDS is a shorter car commute and a school like Lee or Stokes in Brookland only slightly further. No one was choosing TR over those options for the middle school. And I think S-H was already gaining purchase as a viable option for some families at that time.

I don't think TR has been considered highly desirable for anything past K since Maury and L-T became more in-demand IB schools. So like almost a decade ago. And it's only gone downhill from there.[/quote]
