[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What unflattering things?

My DS is in 7th, so this is our first year at Kilmer, and it it Amy Miller’s first year as principal - she started mid-last school year, I believe. I find her to be effective in communicating the school RTS plans and any other policies and changes. I have personally emailed her a couple of times with specific questions about how certain aspects would be handled - always a prompt and thoughtful response. In the tight space between the Gatehouse decisions and the specific parameters of her school, I think she is doing well. Teachers at Kilmer seem happier than at our ES, quality this year has been mostly good (not that I would attribute it to the principal, they were all there before her.)[/quote]

Kilmer had a string of three bad principals - one was demoted to an AP position at a different school, the second was given a job at Gatehouse where he'd have less interaction with kids and parents, and the third was suddenly fired.  Compared to other middle schools, Kilmer had the reputation of being poorly managed with a student's experience depending almost entirely on his or her individual teachers.  Miller could not be worse than they were and from most accounts she is a big improvement. [/quote]
