[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours has lots of stability and alumni who come back to teach. Class sizes are around 15. [/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

Woods[/quote]

Eh, I view it differently. Woods has lost 88 percent of the teachers who were working there a decade ago. (Those were full-time teaching staff, as opposed to admin, facilities, or IT.) Their average annual rate of loss in that time has been around 14%, on par with the national rate of teacher attrition from Catholic schools. Some administrative positions at the school have also had high rates of of turnover. Woods is on its third assistant head of school in a decade, and has also had several directors of development in that time too. While it is great that alumni return to the school, a growing proportion of positions at the school are held by alumni and by those who are family members to other staffers. To me that looks like a school that is having trouble recruiting qualified applicants from the community. [/quote]
