I witnessed Dr. Jordan receiving the N.A.A.C.P. Leadership Award and he had programs for the South Shore Community all year. Come back Jordan..

Just found out as a parent at Powell that the school is level 2. How quickly things change for the worse.

It's a shame how my baby's school, Powell, has went down the drain in one year. I wish Mr. Jrdan would have stayed.

Since PARCC is a statewide recognized exam, we researched PARCC Scores at Powell and Powell students met and accomplished the State of Illinois average for success with PARCC too. No one could not manipulate those scores. Good job Powell teachers & Jordan!!!!

As a Powell parent, my child was at Powell for 3 years, I used to think Mr. Jordan was a little strict but now I understand because under the new principal my baby didn't learn now as much and the discipline is absolutely horrible. I transferred my child out at the end of last year. Wherever you are keep your head up Mr. Jordan. I appreciate your now especially since I had to leave the neighborhood because of the school.

Every thing is not what it seems. Mr. Jordan was a well dressed demon. In my short time there, I thought I was going to lose my mind. The staff was divided, scared, and instensly loyal to his every beck and call. I didn't know whether they were in love or just afraid of losing their jobs. I did not see improvments in those students to indicate real growth. I don't think people realize how easy it is to cheat on NWEA and how often it really happens. In fact some schools, such as Powell, have made a religion out of it. So nope, I will not sign a petition to restore Mr. Jordan. He was nothing more than a manipulative, controlling, con artist, who finally got caught up in his own shenanigans.

This is not twitter and I see you're mad black woman. Mr. Jordan and teachers did a great job with their students. Powell is not as good as it was for the past few years.

CPS wants to make Powell Charter. This is what happens to good school unfortunately. Teachers didn't fix scores teachers taught and students learned. Test scores were proven to be higher repeatedly for 8 years and twice in one year. The school has went down since Mr. Jordan left because he wouldn't sell out. To call teachers devils is unacceptable, who are you to judge. Mr. Jordan maintained high levels of discipline for students and he didn't tolerate disrespect to teachers, students or anyone not even FROM irresponsible parents. The school is definitely changing for the worst. Continued Good wishes to Powell. E. Hudson

Mr. Jordan is the best Principal in the Chicago area. He care about our future, I am proud to have been Lead by such a great man. Reinstate his Principal duties as the future of the children in South Shore Community depend on it, the future is at stake. Glad I am an alumni of Powell.
Bring him back!
