What's the ideal size for high school?

Two West Side principals departing

Principal Brian Culot of the Anderson School, one of Manhattan's three citywide gifted and talented schools, has announced his resignation as principal, effective this August. In a letter to the Anderson community, Culot explained that he's taken a position closer to his home, to permit him to spend more time with his family. He acknowledges that his departure, at a time of Anderson's transition, relocation, and growth, comes at a challenging moment in the life of the school.

Additionally, Principal Jacqui Getz of PS 87 on the Upper West Side announced her resignation. Rumors are that Getz will assume leadership of a Manhattan charter school this fall; as of this morning, Getz would not respond to specific questions about her next position. An interim acting principal has yet to be announced.
