[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think leadership have something to do with the widening gap between Takoma and Whittier in terms of test scores? Whittier has improved drastically over the past few years, while Takoma has pretty much stagnated. Demographics are pretty similar.[/quote] Yes. Whittier’s principal is a strong leader. [/quote] Principal Johnson is definitely a difference maker and is not DCPS yes person. I know it's also a big topic on this forum but our experience is that Whittier absolutely tracks, especially in ELA. Select fifth graders are also taking 6th grade math.[/quote] As they should! The only way they keep a cohort of high achieving kids is by pushing them academically. Otherwise families, such as mine, will leave the school.[/quote] Wow, a school with tracking? Are there other elementary schools that do this? [/quote]
