[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw a post on Arlington Education Matters that the school board approved Kimberley Graves who is the current principal at Hoffman-Boston to be the new principal at Drew. I think this could be good for Drew. From what I have heard she was really instrumental in helping making Hoffman-Boston a strong school. Hopefully she can do the same for Drew. [/quote]

Yes - I think this really positive news. Though, I'm reluctant to credit or blame a single administrator with test performance, I've heard she is a really engaged principal, and I do think principals set the tone and culture.

FWIW, hoffmans farms rate has dropped 15 percentage points since 2012, and demographically the school has become whiter and more Asian. Almost a quarter of the students are Asian; only science focus has a higher percentage.[/quote]

Interestingly, there is a large Mongolian population in the neighborhoods zoned to Hoffman Boston. They may make up part of the Asian percentage.  Have heard it's a great school.   [/quote]
