[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the past year/18 months four ES principals have left ACPS (MacArthur, George Mason, JH, Barrett).  Maury makes it five.  So in that time ACPS is losing/has lost almost half of the ES principals.

This seems like very high turnover to me.  Is it? [/quote]

[b]J-H’s principal was horrible so his departure can only be seen as a good thing.[/b]  Add that Polk’s principal is retiring at the end of the year.[/quote]

JH was unaccredited for years and nothing has changed except the state lowered the bar for accreditation, which actually undermines the credibility of any improvement. The principal, superintendent, and school board at a minimum should have been dumped for that.[/quote]

Not to derail this thread, but the former J-H principal is taking credit for getting J-H accredited during his short tenure. From his bio: "MScott has a consistent record of raising student achievement in both ACPS and DCPS middle, and elementary, and PreK-8 schools, including leading Jefferson-Houston to full accreditation in Virginia."

I agree with PP that it was the state lowering the standards that allowed this to happen and that the principal was inexperienced and ineffective.[/quote]
