[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn’t even apply to Walls because of the principal. Instead my kid applied and got into Banneker but it was ultimately too regimented for them, so we went with JR.

The issue of problematic principals is also at JR. I wish there was a way to convince DCPS to change course with their approach to principal selection and oversight. It’s very damaging, at least at the schools I’m familiar with. There is a lot of potential in DCPS that is left on the table due to poor, petty leadership. [/quote]

The previous JR principal was fairly outspoken, which was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

She implemented the “honors for all” during freshman year which just resulted in dumbed down honors classes for all.

She tried to implement AP for all which meant all juniors were automatically enrolled in I think AP English and history, but DCPs shot her down because  of costs…since they pay for every DCPS student to take the AP test, so now it went from maybe 150 taking those two AP tests to 500 x 2 taking those AP tests.
