[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a very good school that’s a little overcrowded and the administration is not great, [b]leading to a bit of an exodus of good teachers. [/b]That being said, they’ll never have a shortage of good teachers because comparatively (at least to other public schools in DC), it’s a great gig. [/quote]

Don't do this. You confuse causation with correlation. We see this all over DCUM about lots of schools. Like a Rorschach test. Think JR is overcrowded and don't like leadership? That's why teacher's are leaving! Don't like BASIS HOS and think the building stinks? That's why teachers are leaving!

Teachers are not a monolith. Even in the best of times they leave for lots of reasons - family, career, military spouse, burnout. Teacher burnout across the US is at an all time high and teachers are leaving the profession in droves. Stop with this already.  [/quote]

The admin at JR has always been pretty weak right, and got worse over the pandemic. This isn’t news, but it’s not so bad that it affects anything but teacher QOL.[/quote]

But it is true.  Current admin is very weak - plays the game to keep Central happy and does not back up teachers & staff.  Culture of fear there.  Good teachers this year are being given sub-optimal Impact scores. One AP in particular is egregious.

The school is still strong with lots of offerings but more about pandering to marketing then actually making life better for the students. [/quote]
