[quote=Anonymous]Because DuVal has too much chaos going on right now with less-than-stellar administrators, too many mediocre to poor teachers and too many unmotivated students. Add to the mix the parents who are mostly uninvolved. DuVal is trying to pull itself out of the graduation rate and grade fixing scandal — on the backs of students it seems. It could be worse but it also could be a lot better. The principal is pretty much only focused on the aerospace program and the kids with the highest GPAs. Bad to mediocre teachers are protected. Few of the best teachers want to stay. Most do not care about the struggling students and seem glad to let them fall through the cracks. If your child is not highly motivated and not the highest achiever, do not send him or her to this school. It’s a shame because the principal and staff who were accused of unauthorized grade changes and removed were making a difference. The replacements are not good. DuVal has most certainly been in the news the last couple of years for negative things, so I don’t know where people are doing their research.[/quote]
