[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School has improved tremendously over the last several years. Administration is better and improving. Parental involvement has dramatically increased. We are in zone with a child attending RPES. I would rate this school as very good now, whereas 3 years ago, I would have said it is inconsistent.

Parent involvement increased?  Um, no.  Every year they try but it just never happens. The moms/dads that do the bulk of the work get burned out easily.

They are getting some better teachers, I will give them that.  Principal still needs to go.  And like another poster said the para-educators (besides the one awesome one) are just terrible.  They got a new AP that speaks Spanish because the RP population is getting super high in ESOL and FARMS compared to 10 years ago.  I guarantee that AP will be leaving next year to be principal to the new school on Hungerford which will be high in Spanish/ESOL.  IF the school is actually ready by then.

Um, no.  We got a new AP this year because the old AP chose to go to Twinbrook to get more experience working with a different student population as she is working towards becoming a Principal in MCPS instead of assistant principal (if anyone is angling to become principal at RM ES #5, it's her).  The new AP went to Principal training (I know that's not the official title - but whatever they call the training for principals) with the RPES principal years ago and has no desire to be principal of a school - she has been Assistant Principal at several schools prior to Ritchie Park, and the plan is for her to stay on for a while.

If you'd attended the June PTA meeting, you would have heard this info directly. [/quote]
