What’s going on at Travilah ES?

The principal came out looking like a champ - the parents not so much. They really embarrassed themselves, especially that one lady.

By having a couple of parents sharing the positive stories which were actually irrelevant to any of the concerns? We raised red flags of potential administrative failures by the school. The fact that a family’s child is happy with one particular teacher does not have anything to do with what we said.

Heres the thing. We are not making it personal. We have legit concerns about the administration at the school. Its parents like you who are in blind defense of the principal that are trying to divide parents into opposing camps.

If you see a sharp decrease in MAP proficiency levels from 98% to 49% through grades, and do not have questions about it, then at what level would you?

The meeting began with parents raising significant concerns about students' test scores, teacher turnover, dismissals, and the situation with the third-grade teacher. Despite these pressing issues, nothing was resolved, with the principal only stating that she doesn't know and will have an improvement plan for test scores. A few parents did share their individual stories about how pleased they are with the principal, though these were not directly relevant to the concerns raised.

Some director was there, but the discussion focused on comparisons to MCPS. Why do we compare to MCPS? We should compare to our cluster schools! Even if we compare to MCPS, we are still far behind for the leadership question, according to the climate survey.
