[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carole Kihm was brought in as Longfellow's principal a decade ago, at a time when there was a large performance gap among students.  So, yes, her mandate was to focus on test scores, and under her leadership the performance of the minority and low-income kids at Longfellow improved substantially.  She won the Fairfax County Public Schools First-Year Principal of the Year award in 2009 and was also named the 2014 Outstanding Middle School Principal of Virginia by the Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals.

In our experience, she was a no-nonsense principal who ran a tight ship.  That was particularly necessary when Longfellow was overcrowded due to all the AAP kids from the Langley pyramid (who went to Longfellow and Kilmer, rather than Cooper, until a year or two ago).

I'm sorry if your child was bullied, and you feel the school didn't come down hard enough on the other child or children, but those situations aren't always clear-cut and Kihm is well-respected in the community.  Whoever succeeds her will have large shoes to fill.  [/quote]

The statement sounds like it could have written by Carole. Unbelievable! [/quote]
