LOL

This is also what you get for having 32% of JR "at risk youth" mixing with wealthy NIMBYs. It's like oil and water.

Just make the schools in other wards better and stop forcing diversity

Where do you get 32% from?  It makes sense. Pre-covid - Tenley was not the dumpster it is today and I did not witness Wilson kids committing theft or throwing bottles at cars or smoking weed.    Not sure why it went downhill. [/quote]

No meaningful consequences. Duh.[/quote]

For a long time. Who is the JR Principal? I lost track after DCPS ran out Pete Cahill on the trumped up "can't magically fix the achievement gap" charge. He actually seemed to care about the kids/community. We went up there once when kids were misbehaving in the alley and he tracked them down and spoke to them from some pretty basic description. But the current principal can't apply any neighborhood behavioral clause? The police can't figure out kids fighting who were without a doubt on Wawa's video feed? I am not saying that the kids in the fight were all JR, but over the years we've had a lot of misbehavior around that school that nobody ever addresses. Including the pattern of rampant theft in the nearby stores.[/quote]

I think you’ve hit on something here. As a Tenleytown resident I would love for the JR principal to take a more visible role in the community on this issue. No idea who s/he even is. But more community involvement and communication from the school to the neighborhood would go a long way. [/quote]

As another resident, this would be well received. I think that community members need to step up and think about strategies to improve dismissal and business challenges. Like, staggering dismissal or something? The enormous size of the JR/Deal school population also seems to embolden bad behavior. Does the ANC have any power in dealing with JR? Or do they only go after private institutions?[/quote]
