[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Viers Mill is a focus school, which means it has smaller classes in K-2 due to a higher poverty level at the school.  This has pros and cons, obviously.  [b]The former principal, who was very well regarded, was promoted.  Last year's principal did not survive for a second year, so hopefully someone can chime in to say how the new principal is doing. [/b]

The Loiderman middle school has the only arts magnet in the County.  Wheaton High School has some special magnet programs, and is part of the DCC (down county consortium).  I do not think Wheaton is generally considered the most desirable school in the DCC. [/quote]

This seems to be an ongoing issue with Title 1 schools.  If they get strong leadership the school starts to thrive because there have so much access to MCPS resources.  Then as soon as the school starts to do a great job, these principals are  promoted to another school (usually richer and better performing), and MCPS then  gets the most inapt person to run the school.  The title 1 salaries for teachers and administration should be among the highest and based on performance.    [/quote]
