[quote=Anonymous]I think it's pretty safe to say that test scores at all the schools mentioned in this thread fall under the "remains to be seen" umbrella. Demographics in DCPS are changing as fewer families leave the city for the suburbs and choose to send their children to neighborhood schools when once they chose private schools, charters or WOTP schools via the lottery. Some will always go private and some will always leave the area, but there are not enough spaces at the "desirable" charters to match the desire and "desirable" DCPS have waitlists for IB preschoolers.

That is going to result in change, and at this point, it's not clear what that change will look like. I would like to think that our principal at Cooke will part of the positive changes to education in my part of the city. I believe that much of the negative feedback on this thread is coming from former staff members who, for various reasons, were displeased with the administration change. PP, I'm sorry that you didn't feel supported. I agree that it was a hard year in a lot of ways, including some of the ways you described. I am excited for next year - challenges and all. You are no longer involved with the school (voluntarily or not), and I don't really see the point of showing up on this board to bash the principal, accuse parents who question your motives and accuracy of being naive or somehow in the tank for Larkin. Your postings are cowardly, and frankly, they make me relieved that you're no longer at the school. [/quote]
