The culture has had a huge shift under Rodney and not for the better per many teachers. Long term teachers are leaving and not retiring. Multiple Quakers who have been embedded in the community are leaving and don’t think admin truly embraces the Quaker ethos.
Upper school is the most stable division at the moment (first time that can be said since COVID) but it’s a low bar at the moment.
Wow
What was the culture shift?

You sound like a disgruntled parent. If you are so unhappy about the administration, then leave. I think it’s a wonderful community and love the school.

US will get it's fourth head in four years.
LS will get it's fourth in 5 years.
Not sure why you think this is normal at all.

So is the Head of School the problem? I thought he had a great reputation and was beloved at his previous institution.

Not getting replaced but going to a “intermediate school” model where 4-5 will be overseen by the Middle school head.
I wonder how many admin and staff have to leave before people realize the problem.
Thought she was there a few years, she was at Sheridan before no?
She was not at Sheridan. (The current lower school head at Sidwell used to work at Sheridan. Maybe that is who you are thinking of.)

Lots of admin turnover in the last few years. I wonder why?

Not replacing an admin, and then lumping more work onto a current admin is not a good sign. How is the school financially?
