New or not, the academic data is there.

Yeah I saw these stats on MacArthur school profile page and was wondering about that. Could someone please explain - does it mean that not a single kid in MaCarthur takes Algebra 2 in the 9th grade, and so one?

I do not know for sure, but based on the numbers at Hardy I am quite confident that was not a 9th grader in Algebra 2 in the first 2 years of the school, there definitely will be beginning this year and going forward. You have to remember, this year is the first year of the actual Hardy feed and we do not have any data yet. Given the amount of current 8th graders in geometry at Hardy and the numbers who went on to MacArthur last year, it stands to reason that there will be overlap

Yes. https://www.myschooldc.org/resources/data and click on the link following the text "Interested in downloading the My School DC Tableau data?"

Thanks! I tried that but the version that downloaded didn't have waitlist information.

It does, but the data at the top is from SY14-15, which doesn't have as much information. You just need to filter on lottery year.

Ah! Thank you!!

If you are a 5th grade family, its not a bad idea to weigh your inbound against other options that are a longer commute from you.

Sorry but McArthur is not an option so forget Hardy. It’s much easier to get into now because the feeder is doing so poorly. Plus commute is horrendous to WOTP.

If you are not thinking about high school feeder when ranking your middle school, that is a big mistake.

The best middle schools EOTP are the desirable charters which also gives you a high school path (DCI, Basis, Latin). Sure it’s competitive and odds are not great but there is still a chance. That should be your play and then you have a guarantee path. You can always deviate from that path in high school, it’s not fixed, but it is liberating to not have to deal with the lottery again in high school if things work out.

Hardy is definitely an option and MacArthur is doing just fine. You post on any thread you can find on how horrendous MacArthur is. It’s tiresome and not based on any fact whatsoever. I have an 8th grader at Hardy and we are planning on MacArthur and are very excited for it. As are other families we know.

We turned down a spot at BASIS for 5th to remain at our Hardy feeder and are very glad we did. Hardy has been fantastic.

+1. I have an 8th grader at Hardy as well and we are planning on MacArthur. Every kid we know there now likes it.

MacArthur is such a new school, it's ridiculous to make sweeping generalizations saying it is "not an option." My child is at a Hardy feeder and we're excited for the pathway, as are many families we know.

Title I?

Title 1 and only about 1 out of 10 kids on grade level in math and 1 out of 3 in ELA.

You are insufferable. The school hasn’t even had a graduating class yet.

Too bad if you don’t like data but many families are not going to do a horrendous commute across town for a school with such abysmal stats.

What is your goal? Why do you want this school to fail? Seriously, what is wrong with you?

We need to make a decision that is best for our kids,

WTF is wrong with YOU?

DP, +1 and PP doesn’t seem to realize that no one person is out to fail the school and multiple people could be responding to posts.

PP does realize this. The question is for all of you. Trying to learn about a school does not involve trashing it every chance you get.

No one is trashing the school. Someone said MA was not an option, Hardy families says it is fine. Data was given why it is not an option and then Hardy families got defensive and emotional and now are saying people are trashing the school.

Saying a school is "not an option" is trashing the school. Don't be obtuse.

Yes, right now, Hardy students can consider and apply for other schools with MacArthur as their guaranteed backup. Hardy is also relatively close to MacArthur. Its not a bad setup for most.

Sorry but you need to get a spine. Above is said about so many schools due to the poor scores. It is not trashing a school. It is the truth for many families, especially those with a high performing kid.

I can promise you that a high performing kid would do just fine at MacArthur.
