[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've said earlier on this 10 page thread (or perhaps another recent one), tell me about the principal. And been told that principals can be replaced. I still think the Deal change started with appointment of Principal Kim.[/quote] Principals are a necessary factor in successful schools. But there are other necessary factors - the primary one being catchment area. Make a list of every successful DCPS school and the common denominator is a catchment area with proficient students that move up the feeder pattern and adroit parents. It’s not random that the best DCPS schools are west of the park. Deal works because its in-bounds parents absolutely dominate the situation as their kids move from elementary to Deal and then Wilson or elsewhere. The Cluster, on a smaller scale, is similar. These parents demand a great principal, prepare their kids for success at school, and then work their tails off on behalf of a shared vision. [/quote]
