[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easily Mann. Stoddert is a downward spiral right now. [/quote]

Strongly disagree. I can’t speak to Mann at all but Stoddert has a really strong kindergarten team and is very international.

Stoddert was an absolute shitshow this year and pretending otherwise won’t help fix things. I hope they can turn it around.

LOL at the [i]drama[/i].

No, it wasn't an absolute shitshow. Jesus, get a grip. What good does it do to drive by and drop this kind of vaguery here, absent of any actual information?

Prospective parent of a Stoddert or Mann student, here's what happened. The latter half of the 2022-2023 school year saw a handful of bullying incidents that the Stoddert administration didn't handle very well. There was a series of incidents of verbal bullying - unfortunately not well addressed by the administration - that ultimately led to a few physical altercations.

Those incidents did not disrupt the entire school or turn the place upside down. Most people were blissfully unaware. Academically, Stoddert is as strong as ever, as evidenced by its PARCC scores. The administration I think was doing a better job of handling things by the end. And, for what it's worth, there is a new and experienced principal starting this year, too.

Yeah, those incidents weren't great. But they were hardly a sign of a spiraling whirlpool of inevitable destruction.

I can't speak to Mann; I hear great things. But honestly, I think Stoddert is a great school too. It's a win-win decision.
