A promotion.

Unfortunately I think the only thing principals are evaluated on is test scores. At least that’s how it looks as an employee at the elementary level. Teachers can be miserable and children depressed and acting out but just keep those test scores going up.

Mindy Reeves at Rachel Carson ES is fantastic! Committed, engaged, innovative, and seems to truly love the kids and the community.

I always say Dr. Garrick at Northwood when this is asked. I could not imagine going through the s-show that is the relocation without him. Super responsive and helpful.

I did my admin program or worked with so many of these talented administrators. You can always tell the ones who are in it for the kids versus the paycheck.

Mark Brown at Einstein. Simply fantastic.

YMMV but we really like the Eastern MS principal, Ms. Shorts. I know people on DCUM don't think highly of the school outside of the magnet program, but our experience is that the administration in general is very strong.

Jeff Cline at Oak View is fantastic.

Ahmad Adelekan at Blake is amazing!

+1 for Poolesville’s Mr. Mark Carothers. He is amazing!

Stacey Brown at William Tyler Page ES! Responsive, good problem-solver, knows all the students’ names, respected leader.
