School Reviews
| 5 The principal is a serious and thoughtful person, making improvements under challenging circumstances. Children arrive at this school very far behind academically, socially and emotionally. The public schools are difficult to work with bureaucratically -- lots of expectations and constraints not placed on the charter schools. The school is in one of DC's older, crumbling facilities. Within that reality, Mr. Mitchel and his senior staff are doing a very credible job of leading the staff and the students. The halls are tightly monitored so students must be somewhere supervised during class hours. They are patient with the students, both holding them accountable and giving them many chances. They have a lot of outstanding staff and teachers that go above and beyond for the students. With more funding expected for their student population under the new funding models, this school should continue to improve, if they retain the principal and his leadership team. My children are high need and the school has worked hard to give them the opportunity to succeed. They have a plethora of after school activities. It is a tough school for someone who is academically advanced, as the majority of the students are in remediation. - Posted by Parent - renew |
| 2 I recently visited Roosevelt for a football game, which was called the DC Kick off classic and I could not believe the conditions of the school. First the bleachers were covered with bushes and trash everywhere. Then the bathrooms looked like something out of a horror movie and I just could not believe this was a school that is currently opened.I am a fifth grade teacher in Maryland and am originally from California and I have NEVER seen any open school in those conditions. Why can't you utilize the students who need community service hours to help to clean up the school. - Posted by Teacher - kamil |
