[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can avoid it, try and get out of Rachel Carson.  It's not Mormons or FARMS as the previous posters have said (which quite frankly seems ridiculous).  Diversity in an elementary school is a good thing.

The issue is the administration is terrible.   Turned over about 4 years ago, and the new principal is really disliked by the parents and many of the teachers.   She doesn't seem like a bad person, just way in over her head and extremely under qualified.   The rumor was that nobody else wanted the job given the size of the school and how tough many of the parents are, but obviously just a rumor - so who knows.

Think I'm crazy?   Just look at how the school rankings have changed since she took over...we have all dealt with the overcrowding (and it's EXTREMELY overcrowded) because the school was so great.   Not anymore.

It used to be one of the best, if not the best elem school in MCPS.  But it's really gone downhill and shows no signs of improving.   It's a hot topic across the Kentlands and Lakelands, but I just don't see it changing.    All that said, there are some amazing teachers there who are trying their best.  [/quote]

What makes you say the principal is overwhelmed and underqualified? Presumably she would have to have met the criteria all other principals are required to meet to get the job? [/quote]
