[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWWFS is a strong PK-8. However they configure it, giving the program more space is a win.

SWWFS building had a stronger and stronger Associate Principal stepping up and a still-learning ass't principal. They should do fine, but might need a third admin. Not sure the head principal plays more than a figurehead role at SWWFS.[/quote]

What is an Associate Principal.  I've heard of Assistant Principals at DCPS but not "Associate."  Is there a difference?  The whole set up sounds confusing, but more power to SWWFS if they can make it work.[/quote]

An Associate Principal is a more experienced AP. In the case of FS, Ms Young would be a great principal on her own at any school. [/quote]

So why hasn't that happened? It seems like unnecessary layering. [/quote]

SWWFS is a bit of an odd duck, since it has an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school under the same broad umbrella.  It makes sense that there would be Principal, as well as Assistant and Associate Principals to adequately supervise all the different components.  I'm watching this thread with interest, since we're IB for FS, and figuring out whether the school will work for our kid.  [/quote]

SWWFS is an educational center -- it's a PK3-8 school.

There is also the application high school by the name SWW High School.

The two entities share a principal, but children at SWW @ FS don't have any more of a leg up or preference or anything into SWW than any other student in the city. [/quote]

Though they do get 11 years of Latin (if they start in PK3). That's got to help a little?[/quote]
