Since Ms. Pappas took over as the principal, the school completely went downhill. She has been a complete disaster for the school and the kids. A bunch of the best teachers left the school because of her poor leadership. Just look at the school’s ratings. This school used to be rated 9/10 and now it is 6/10. I don’t understand how Ms Pappas is allowed to continue destroying what used to be a very good school. Teachers keep leaving, ratings keep going down, class sizes keep increasing. Ms Pappas’ innovation is to create classes where one teacher teaches 2 grade levels in the same classroom. Teachers hate it, kids hate it, and parents hate it. Ms Pappas is the only one who likes it. And I don’t know where the money is going. I haven’t seen any improvements to the school since she took over. I guess the district likes her because she is probably saving them a lot of money by increasing class sizes and driving out experienced teachers who probably cost the district more than new hires.
