The principal called me to enthusiastically share the good news. It's that kind of passion that I did not find when my other DC was at public for 6 years.

I'll be contrary here and say that I wouldn't like to receive that call because of what it demonstrates to the kid about the principal's belief in the importance of standardized tests and because it tells the kid the principal is watching them in particular. I don't like my kid feeling like he's under a microscope and all the adults around him are trying to get him to fix something about himself.

I think it shows the principal actually has time to interact with parents vs. the bureaucratic paperwork and meetings of public schools.
