[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this thread is rather heartbreaking to me. I remember when Bunker Hill used to have a waiting list in the 90's. You were considered lucky to get a job there. Carolyn Preston, legendary principal, was a force to be reckoned with. Test scores were high and many middle class parents was involved. Unfortunately, a bad principal in 2000 turned that all around. One hundred fifty students found charter schools more appealing. Now, 10 or so principals later, the school has made very little progress. It has been 15 years since the school's mass exodus. [/quote] I've heard similar stories about a school near me, was once very popular but began to deteriorate soon after a principal's departure. It's quite frightening that the success of some of these schools is dependent on the presence of one individual. [/quote]
