[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dr Landeryou has got to go. His cluelessness and lack of any leadership have continued for too long. It’s not a wonderful school. Mann is a wonderful school. Janney May be a wonderful school. Key is a backward school with a do nothing principal running a school with stuck in the 50s type of mindset and outdated approaches to education. [/quote]

Could you please expand on this? I am seriously considering Key and would really like to get as much information and perspectives as possible. Of course this incident is concerning and even though rational thinking tells you, it likely could’ve happened at any school, it’s hard not to let it cloud your thinking a little bit. [/quote]

That principal and the asst principal were cited for a months long racist incident too - where dcps investigators concluded it was a hate crime - - but it was before BLM.

They also treat the 4th and 5th graders as second class students - after around half the families leave after 3rd grade. Coincidence that much higher %s of the 4th and 5th graders a diverse. The principal is notorious for catering to the parents who run and give more at the auction.

There are lots of non fans of the administration and lack of any innovation at Key. [/quote]

Hadn’t looked in a while - but Keys overall enrollment is down to 319 - it had been over 400 before the pandemic - so the bigger issue is huge overall drop (so either a baby bust in the area which doesn’t actually meet the demo trends or families peeling off from the pandemic for other options or just going private from the get go) and then ever still the 5th grade cohort is down to 35 kids.

Innovations going on but not many at key: https://globaled.gse.harvard.edu/21st-century-education

I have a kid in 4th great at Key. I’d say 90% of kids moved from 3d to 4th. I’ve read the same rhetoric about kids leaving after 3d grade 5 years ago, I think it’s very outdated.
Can you please elaborate on “lack on innovation”? Homework not being canceled? Writing on paper?
