[quote=Anonymous]We are at a Title I, east of the park DCPS elementary that is supposedly improving and becoming more gentrified. The school got a new principal a few years ago who made a lot of changes, and combined with DCPS-wide pressures on teachers, it is probably no surprise that many teachers have left. Some are long-time staff who have retired, others are Teach for America types who went back to school, so maybe there's nothing unusual going on. But when I look more closely at the teacher turnover rate--25% this year, probably close to that last year-- it worries me. What is a typical turnover rate at a good DCPS elementary (say at a WotP school)? What is turnover like at the best charters? Should I be worried? I'm glad to see dead wood removed, but don't you want a certain stability, too? Or this to be expected for an inner city, Title I public school? [/quote]
