Now That Schedules Are Out - How Many Vacancies?

Anonymous
MS DD has 1 class currently without a teacher, despite recent communication from the school that they are fully staffed. How are your MS and HS kid fairing? Do they have teachers for each of their classes?

It's possible that the teacher is hired, but still being processed in HR. The teacher cannot show up in SIS until that is completed.

0 for 5 kids. One HS teacher is new, but has a masters in education from GMU, so she’s a legit teacher.

I'm going to assume the PPs have kids in "good" schools. Am I right? I would assume most vacancies would either be in lower performing schools, schools with a higher percentage of low income students and/or schools with psycho admin.

Not necessarily true. I think your assumption is valid for inner-city or very rural school systems where the schools fail on a wide scale. Schools in FCPS that are low-performing/low-income had some of the strongest teacher satisfaction survey results as documented in the last ES employee survey from a few years ago. In most cases schools with higher than average vacancies are due to bad admin.

My youngest DC is at Rachel Carson so ok, probably considered a "good" school.
My oldest is at South Lakes.... which, based on the other thread probably is not considered a "good" school (we are zoned for Westfield HS a "good" school maybe - but pupil placed to South Lakes for the IB program).

South Lakes is considered a "good" school. It's roughly in the center in terms of SAT and other metrics among the FCPS high schools--and the FCPS high schools as a whole are considered good.
