It doesn't.

OP will need serious lottery luck at Latin (or perhaps Hardy, DCI or SH), a kid who's good at math for BASIS, money for a private, or a very open mind and willingness/ability to supplement extensively to make public MS work in DC.

Welcome to the club outside the Deal District.

How does that help OP?

DCI, basis, Latin
Deal
Runner ups: Hardy, Adams, Capitol city, Stuart Hobson

Would not consider two rivers, chml, any other dcps middle or citywide


I was mostly talking about weak elementary academics at two rivers. I thought weak middle school academics was a given.

NP. Give us a break, BASIS and Washington Latin, possibly DCI. Hardly a secret. Two Rivers MS is full of kids who struggle academically and there aren't honors classes.

PP, what do you consider the GOOD middle school charters? Or are you simply saying that you feel private is the only way to go?

But you're not choosing between two good options. You're choosing between a nice option for one more year, and then no option at all, vs an option all the way up to 8th grade.

Sometimes I really do not understand the myopia of parents of very young children. They grow up, you know.

Well, OP is choosing between a good option and an unknown. chances are she will get a good enough lottery numbet between K and 8th.

Two Rivers is just an OK option academically for an advanced learner. This is one reason many UMC parents leave along the way at both campuses. Differentiation has never been Two Rivers' strong suit.

Oh stop. Your “gifted” snowflake did fine at TR.

Different poster. Shut up, race baiting jerk. My Asian kid left TR after 2nd grade, bored silly.

Race baiting? Really. Please explain that one, PP.

Regardless, I think it should be noted that the academics at two rivers aren’t the strongest amongst the charters.

So in your vast experience, pray tell, which ones are the strongest?

I’d put two rivers on par with inspired teaching and CMI.

I would consider it if you’re inbounds for a dcps with weak test scores.

It’s fine just fine. An acceptable choice given the alternative I guess.

That may be the case, but OP has no idea if her child is an advanced learner or not. Why not try it out?

As another parent who is interested in TR 4, I would love to hear from current parents (not other parents) about how they do outdoor time.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I would strongly consider another year of daycare in your circumstances. Lack of outdoor space and location (driving around there is maddening, even if you don't have far to go), plus a middle school that never really lived up to its potential would make me think hesitate, too, especially with the baby situation.

Different poster - I’ve heard this many times from others in real life. Great place for people fine with an okay school.
