Bullying at Gunston. Principal very disliked...but she's moving on to Arlington Community HS next year. Way overcrowded. Band director popular.
    Kenmore principal very well liked and respected. Arts program praised. Active and engaged Hispanic parents group.
    Williamsburg principal not well liked by many parents, staff. But positive things about certain instruction (which may be happening elsewhere, too; we're out of MS so I don't know).
    Swanson overcrowded, bullying. Better diversity than Williamsburg.
    Hamm - under-enrolled, so lots of space and small classes; excellent principal.
    TJ - fine. Meh principal, but not the negative comments like others. Excellent counseling staff, though the director of counseling left a year or two ago. World language earlier (v. language wheel) due to IB program (that can be a positive or negative depending on personal viewpoint). Hamm's principal was AP at TJ.

Agree with these assessments/opinions. [/quote]

Interesting focus on principal popularity.[/quote]

Particularly because some of the reasons they aren’t “popular“ are low key offensive. Eg Complaints about grammatical errors in emails, etc. If you ever took the time to talk to the principals or step foot in the school, you would realized what an amazing job they’re doing. This is such a difficult age to manage in middle school.  Most of the people that are complaining about our principal have kids that have nightmare behavior issues, or never bothered to attend a PTA meeting/volunteer. They really don’t have a clue.
