St Frances of Rome School

Rosie Gusman: I think this school has potential but change is needed.  The principal has much to learn about getting along with people and telling the truth.  Most of the teachers do not have full credentials and the principal has an MBA not an education degree.  That is why she is great in making environmental changes but not academic changes.  In previous years the teachers employed were much more dedicated.  Those teachers are no longer with the school.  The new junior high math teacher needs to learn to use the curriculum that was in place prior to her date of hire.  The new second grade teacher should learn to speak louder so her students do not have to strain to hear her.  I'm sure this is a clever ploy to keep the students listening but is it fair?

I do9n't understand why first grade has reading groups and no other grade has them?  It was a concern last year but not this year.

The school has a nice bunch of children and great parent support.  Lucky for the principal and teachers.

It was academically run better with the former principal.  I think much has to do with the experience of the last principal.  Age has its privilege.   Fr. Gustavo is not as involved with school decisions as he should be.
