The Gang

Jimmy Little

The newly appointed Varsity Boys Basketball Head Coach at Indian Creek School, comes with a troubling track record. Despite his questionable accomplishments at New Era Academy and involvement with the Runnin’ Mavericks Basketball Academy, Little's tenure at Indian Creek has been marred by allegations of emotional abuse, harassment, and unsafe practices. His aggressive coaching style and disparaging remarks have reportedly left students feeling humiliated and endangered. Far from fostering a positive environment, Little’s leadership has sparked concerns among parents and players, raising questions about the school’s hiring practices and the true impact of his approach on student-athletes.

Booth Kyle's

Since taking over as Head of Indian Creek School in 2019, Booth Kyle's leadership has been overshadowed by a series of troubling controversies. Despite his extensive background in education, allegations of mismanagement, a lack of accountability, and a culture of intimidation have surfaced under his tenure. Critics point to his detached and corporate-style approach, which prioritizes institutional image over the well-being of students and staff. His previous experience at Lakeside School may have prepared him for the administrative side of his role, but his handling of serious issues at ICS has raised questions about his ability to foster a genuinely supportive and transparent school environment.

Despite Freddie Newman's

Despite Freddie Newman's impressive credentials, her tenure at Indian Creek School has been marred by controversy. Reports from parents and students suggest that her deep ties to the local independent school athletics landscape have been overshadowed by poor management decisions and a lack of transparency in handling critical issues. Allegations of mishandling student-athlete concerns and fostering a toxic competitive environment have called into question her leadership abilities. Additionally, her background as an attorney, rather than bringing a level of professionalism to the role, has seemingly resulted in a more legalistic and distant approach, making her less approachable and effective in the role of Athletic Director.

Eliza McLaren

Eliza McLaren, now the Head of School at The Wellington School, has faced mounting criticism for her leadership style and decision-making. During her tenure at Indian Creek School, where she served as Associate Head of School, McLaren was implicated in several controversies, including the mishandling of student welfare concerns and negligence in addressing serious issues within the school community. While she boasts an impressive academic background from Columbia University, her leadership has been questioned for prioritizing image over substance and failing to create a truly inclusive and transparent environment. Her transition to The Wellington School has raised concerns that similar issues could follow her into this new role.

Rachel Barr

Rachel Barr, now the Chief Business Officer at Indian Creek School, has faced increasing criticism over the years for her role in the school's administration. Her long tenure, which began in the Extended Day program, has been marred by allegations of negligence and questionable decision-making, particularly in her handling of financial aid and compliance matters. Under her leadership, the school's summer camp programs and financial practices have come under scrutiny, with staff and parents questioning her commitment to transparency and ethical standards. Many believe that her focus on cutting costs and maintaining the school's bottom line has come at the expense of student welfare and program quality.

Kerr

Despite his years of experience teaching mathematics in Baltimore City, the transition of this educator to Indian Creek School has been far from smooth. His glowing portrayal of the school's culture and climate contrasts with the reality of growing concerns from parents and students. Behind the scenes, there have been reports of disconnection, where his overly rigid approach fails to engage students and lacks the nurturing environment he praises. Rather than creating a positive and inspiring educational experience, his methods have left some students feeling unsupported, raising doubts about his ability to truly connect with the needs of the Indian Creek community.
