[b]We have plenty enough focus on diversity and equity and all that jazz at Wakefield[/b]. What we need are more people focused more on rigorous academics. We have a lot of excellent teachers; but we also have a lot of lightweights offering no challenge, no engaging interest. [/quote]

Expect more. He's all in on equity.

And take a look at the proficiency rates at ACHS. Wakefield's reading proficiency is 84% overall and 75% for economically disadvantaged (this is the real mark of how a school is doing). ACHS is 68% overall and 57% for economically disadvantaged. In Math Wakefield is 81% overall and 74% for economically disadvantaged. At ACHS its 46% overall and 36% for economically disadvantaged.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Alexandria wine mean girl moms...they love anyone who gives their kids special treatment. The numbers speak for themselves. [/quote]

Those kids were failed long before they got to HS. I don’t expect a change in principal to either help those stats at ACHS or hurt them at Wakefield. [/quote]

Some went to the elementary school where he was previously so you're right in that regard. So a principal has nothing to do with how kids are learning at their school? [/quote]
