[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why some people still think our school is doing fine!

The teacher turnover rate at our school is very high. Since the principal joined, only three teachers have remained. The principal claimed the turnover rate is 18%, but this is not accurate. Even if it were true, the turnover rate for MCPS over the past four years is 4.85% (excluding retirement based on the principal), according to page 101 of this report (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/council/Resources/Files/REPORTS/2024/MCPS-2024.pdf)

Despite the principal's year-end message stating that only 50% of 5th graders met the benchmark, our school's MCAP math test scores have dropped from nearly 90 in 2018 to 62.5 in 2023. We went from being one of the highest-achieving schools in the cluster to the lowest-achieving. It's important to note that neither our cluster schools, MCPS, nor the state of Maryland have experienced this decline.

These are valid questions and concerns. The principal doesn't seem to have an answer. She mentioned having improvement plans, but what are they? Where are they? Based on the MCPS Leadership Standards, Criteria, and Descriptive Examples, she is very ineffective.[/quote]
