In any other school the Principal would be gone with scores like that.

Indeed. But she was Michelle Rhee's friend and tennis hitting partner (seen them myself multiple times back in 2010).

There is a culture of terror in that school. There were students and teachers who secretly reported to her, I know it because I used to teach there. Besides, when she wanted to get rid of someone (including students) she would be merciless, even calling INS and reporting students to have the family depored.

And I would bet you that the absolute last thing the administration of that school wants is parental involvement and scrutiny from highly educated and involved parents. So by all means-- go take a tour and tell us all about it.

Way to suggest that the parents of kids who go to CHEC don't care about their kids, PP.

I would personally prefer that if people are going to be vocal with their opinions about a school - any school - that those opinions be based on something other than a look at test scores and what they heard on DCUM. That's all.
