| Just curious, have 2 kids at Magruder who have good experience with their principal. |
| LMAO I have a feeling this thread won't last. |
| Most people do not have kids at multiple highschools to compare the 27 MCPS HS principals. |
| Not impressed with our principal and he is very much part of the problem but others love him. Not naming the school. |
| I quite like the Whitman principal (responsive and helpful) but I really didn't like the Pyle one (weak, dishonest) or the Bradley Hills one (faker, made shit up). |
| Grabs popcorn! |
| I’ve heard from most parents that it’s either Gaithersburg HS or Rockville HS that have the worst principals out of all the high schools, though I might lean to Gaithersburg’s though 🤷♂️ |
You just described my experience with principals. One was caring, professional, on top of it. Another seems withdrawn, weak, and good at outsourcing problems to others. Another was a blowhard, glib, and irresponsible. Thank goodness they moved on. The last one is a rising star—knowledgeable, responsible, does a great job. Not naming the mcps school either. |
| We were impressed by the previous principal at WJ who retired. We haven’t had much interaction with the current one. However, the communication has been strong and responses positive for the limited interactions. No complaints! |
Then this is an entirely masturbatory exercise for you, useless for anyone else. |
Gaithersburg's principal just started. |
PP was probably referring to the previous one. |
| I like the Churchill principal. He discusses specific strategies for school improvement and seems to follow through. He answers tough questions well and thoughtfully at PTA meetings and such. |
| How long do Principals typically last? |
5-10 years in many cases |
