[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a brand-new Executive Director (Kristina) who was not up to the task at all, and who followed the founding Executive Director (the only ED the school had ever had) right when covid hit. Lots of compounding factors for sure, but to me they all start there. Had they managed to skip Kristina and go to the ED they have now, who seems very good, or had the founding ED been steering the ship during covid, things might be much different.

PP's mention of the impact of Cooper's opening timing is also 100% correct. [/quote]

If you look at the pathways data from eduscape, the Latin Cooper excuse doesn't hold up. Only a small number of TR kids are getting in there even in the first two years when they were taking 5th and 6th grade students. Meanwhile the number of students going to Young has dropped by a huge number each year, and the number of places that 4th and 5th grade students are going to has multiplied. Not just Cooper but SH, EH, Deal, Hardy, CHML, Cap City, Truth, and others. The number of kids going to Cooper is small compared to the total number of kids leaving.

Also Cooper has not had that impact on other schools. In terms of enrollment and retaining feeder kids, SH and EH have improved even as Cooper opened. The popularity of ITDS MS has stayed high and it's actually led to less attrition from ITDS in the upper grades. TR was struggling before Cooper and continues to struggle now. The fact that a small handful of TR students went there is really pretty irrelevant to the problems at TR and especially at Young MS.[/quote]
