[quote=Anonymous]The Cluster blew its lead with poor leadership for a few years. Now they have replaced the ineffective principal of a couple years back and the receptionist who would bite your head off and are hopefully getting back on track. There are many wonderful new initiatives there now, as well as the groundbreaking successes of the past (such as the gorgeous library). Playground supervision has also been a concern in the past. As always, lack of accelerated options is a weakness. I don't know if Watkins or the PTA is trying anything new this year in that respect. When my child was at Watkins i was told flat out that there was no gifted and talented program for my advanced reader. Brent attempts to superimpose accelerated learning on top of the existing DCPS curriculum, but the real problem is the citywide aversion to meeting the needs of accelerated students. Watkins has a strong PTA with great leadership.[/quote]
