[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So happy that my kids school got a 5!  I always thought that Barnsley was great and nice to see them score so well!  Principal and staff work so hard and its nice to see the high score![/quote]
Barnsley has CES which probably helps with the scores.  My DC went to HGC there.  I think the non CES part of the school is supposed to be pretty good, too, but I think the scores probably do reflect that the center is there.[/quote]

I disagree.  The non-CES part of Barnsley is deplorable.  If you take out the CES part, I highly doubt that Barnsley would still be rated five stars.  Certainly, my kids have had some good teachers over the years.  But the principal continuously moves teachers from grade to grade, resulting in staff planning new lessons each year rather than honing ones that have been used in previous years.   The principal also has an angry demeanor that I suspect is at least partially responsible for the ridiculous amount of staff turnover.  Indeed, according to the latest staff climate survey, staff morale--only 24% say staff morale is positive--is much, much lower than at other schools in the cluster:  http://sharedaccountability.mcpsmd.org/SurveyResults/content.php?l=0&sch=505&survey=2018SSE&type=Staff&comparison=4    [/quote]

Wow.  That survey puts the principal in a pretty bad light.[/quote]
