[quote=Anonymous]JA is an absolute mess and the mess is well hidden by DCPS. Children can't read, teachers have no classroom management, the leadership is well connected to central office in the form of the area superintendent who ruled JA a tyrant and got away with it cause she was personal friends with the former chancellors. The staff turnover is ridiculously high. In seven years, they've had more than 60 teaches and staff leave!! No continuity. They had a doctorate level teacher working as the 8th grade teacher whom N.G. excesses her only for Deal to quickly scoop her up! The current principal is a N.G. blind follower and neither can move overall achievement and growth. The few teachers that remain are young and doing their community service for loan forgiveness and will be leaving as soon as they put their time in as well. The only way this school will succeed is if they stop hiring and rating people H.E. because they are drunken drinking buddies (troll their social media sites for proof) and actually keep good teachers and staff regardless of personal feelings; stop teaching to the test; and hire some veteran old school teachers with proven teaching skills; brighten that dark dreary place up; STOP MAKING M.S. kids walk in a straight line like they are in prison or elementary school; stop the union busting; stop making teachers work until 5pm with an expectation to come in early the next day three out of five days; TEACH THE common core CURRICULM; stop the double blocks (kids brains are fried with 90 straight minutes of math and ELA); offer a TRUE HISTORY AND SCIENCE CURRICULUM (what is a damn humanities block)!!! When these things begin occurring, you may begin to see enrollment from Brent families and Thompson families (who are TOLD JA is a BAD School). Until then, I wouldn't send my enemies' child to JA! Not a Devos fan but she got that one right!!! [/quote]
