Of all the high school snapshots in Queens, I came up with the eight principals that have the lowest teacher trust readings as nominated by their teaching staff. This list is based upon the 2016-17 school year.
The list is as follows:
School.............................................Trust
Humanities And The Arts...................24%
Gateway to Health Sciences..............38%
William Cullen Bryant........................41%
Rockaway Collegiate.........................45%
MAST...............................................53%
Applied Communications...................60%
Queens Collegiate.............................60%
Grover Cleveland..............................64%
The citywide average is 78%.
Who are these principals you ask? Topping the list is Principal Kayode Ayetiwa at Campus Magnet's Humanities and the Arts. Read about her school Here. Others on the list is Namita Dwarka of Bryant who single-highhandedly may be responsible for most of the senior teaching staff leaving the school over the last few years. Least we forget the infamous Jose Cruz, of MAST, who usually leads high schools in giving negative rating to his teachers. Then there are the principals at Rockaway and Queens Collegiate, who seem to have trouble retaining staff and then there is the terrible Judy Henry who won her position in questionable circumstances, thanks to Superintendent Juan Mendez and has made the staff wish they never worked there. Finally, lets not forget Principal Michael Weinstein at Applied Communications who sparked a student walkout to protest his flawed leadership of the school.
Many of the schools listed above are two time losers as Chancellor Carmen Farina has protected these principals, despite the low opinion of them by their staff, year after year..
If you are a teacher then give thanks this Thanksgiving for being fortunate enough not to work in these schools with these terrible principals.

juan mendez is related to atr stupidvisor ayo mendez. ayo is an incompetent lackey who in 2014 had the balls to "U" rate me after seeing her 2 times that year. she was forced to change this rating because she don't even remember the number of students in the class. I can see the stupidity is genetic. as long as people like her and juan mendez are protected you will suffer!
My principal (not in Queens) has had a trust level at or below 22% for several years. No powers that be care. The school is falling apart around us and no one helps.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Namita Dwarka of Bryant is the single most evil piece of dog crap I've met in 25 years of teaching.
Hey Dwarka....do you know what your own inner circle say about you?
Chaz....write a post about incompetent ATR supervisors. Most are administrators from failed schools; why were these failures given the task of rating ATR's?
Hey Justin Stark, APO who never supervised pedagogy, I'm talking about you bitch!
Happy Thanksgiving.
That's funny you mentioned stark.....I had his wife.
Dwarka does anal with strangers
Dwarka is the doe town bike.
They want to bring their schools to the ground by destroying good teachers. The UFT keeps looking the other way, and Fariña seems to love bad principals.
Much of the DOE is now staffed and operated by third world immigrants, anti-American leftists, affirmative action hires and crony nepotism hires.
This is not an untrue statement, and we all know it. Just look at our supervisors in almost every case.
We should abandon all hope of getting 'justice' or 'fairness' - that ship sailed long ago.
The best we can do is fight to halt the decline in whatever ways it affects us personally. Protect yourself from the injustice, because that is all we can do now. Chaz is doing his part by exposing the corruption and idiocy. Thank you to Chaz!
We must plan carefully and keep our heads down at work. Under the radar is the only survival tactic now.
How do you stay under the radar? Pass everyone. Avoid all conflicts with students. (Do not expect manners or professional student behavior - then you won't get mad at what you see. Let the disrespect fly off you. Smile and ignore as much as possible.) Keep yourself scarce. Avoid the break room gossip. Do whatever paperwork they want. Never be late or absent.
If you do these things, you can be among the 30% who make it to retirement.
Jose Cruz nearly made me quit teaching my first year, and I only had to deal with him as an AP. He got caught fixing scores and he didn't even get punished!
The Chancellor likes these types of Principals.
She just likes to harass teaxhers and destroy careers of people that do not venerate her. Although the Chancellor loves her.
Met her once. She walked out of my demo after 30 seconds. Maybe cause I'm white. She's worse than dog crap. 3020a her for her crimes against the profession.
Something with Chin at Flushing and lawyers won't touch it. No one wants to fight the DOE. So the corruption continues.
I know plenty of DOE employees who fought the DOE and won. Chin is a joke !
