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

THIS. But still, it’s astounding how far this school has fallen on so many levels. My DS was at TRY many many years ago; my impression was that 4th St was decent, but i gather my assumption (and naïveté) were off base.

It’s the most competitive seat in the city and every year gets more competitive and more families get shut out.

If you don’t have a good feeder, I would move out of the city by 2nd/3rd to good school pyramid in the burbs and be set till 12th. That is what we would have done.

Lots and lots of families do this in poorly performing DCPS elementary schools feeding to even more poorly performing middle schools that are just unacceptable. .

JOW opens its new building in time for 2026-7. I predict TR will have exited 4th street by the start of the 2029-30 SY. TR cannot justify that campus once the neighborhood kids have a better local option with a viable MS path.

HRCS may be reconstituted but they won't rise again in their original form.

This is likely true.

The HRCS shall rise again!

Mundo Verde almost cleared their waitlist for both campuses as well. How things have changed in the last five years!

Creative Minds, Shining Stars and Bethune seem to have fallen far below expectations/already made all offers. Ward 5 charter saturation is real. Bethune only matched approximately half of their seats offered. SS is only slightly better.

middle school seats are definitely some of the most competitive

Stuart Hobson made 3 offers. THREE!

Seems like quality MS seats are even harder to come by.

Define “quality.”
