Violence around MacArthur H.S.

[Anonymous]

Anyone else been hearing and worried about this? My kid is on the waitlist, but now I’m extremely unsure.

There is violence throughout the city. Not just around McA.

Sure but where MA is located, you don’t expect violence in that neighborhood. So if there is now when MA opened, then that is a direct correlation.

Assuming you mean kids are the reason for the violence? I haven't heard of any uptick in violence around the school.

Neighbors are claiming that it is from students who have stashed weapons in yards; they've beaten up a neighbor; been smoking weed on bus. I don't live in-bounds, but with my kid on the waitlist this is awfully alarming. It doesn't seem to be just "the NIMBYs," but those who have witnessed and have reported actual, real-life crimes.

I know that the PTO is very active. Any current parents -- or neighbors -- know what's really happening?

OP, I’ve seen that Nextdoor thread that all your examples are coming from, and it alarmed me as well.
My personal experience - I live close by, and I’ve only seen something I didn’t like once - kids smoking weed a couple blocks away early in the morning. Never seen any fights on the street or at bus stops.

There are many videos of school trio fights that they post. Drugs and alcohol are destroying them, it's incredible how many parents allow it .My My son goes to a school near MacArthur and the students are out all the time. They need to be constantly supervised and irresponsible parents disciplined.

DP. I'd be careful about what you're implying here.

It's a pretty sleepy neighborhood.

It’s Orwellian to deny that there’s essentially zero crime up in that neighborhood and hasn’t been a murder in years. Check the crime cards.

Where do people post these videos? When my kids were in public I’d hear about fights and go look them up and never find any. Do they just get taken down in a hurry?

I think what they're implying is that it's a neighborhood with historically very little crime, so if there was an uptick in crime after the school opened, it is likely students (or teachers?) are responsible. What do they need to be careful about exactly?

Are you really that obtuse? To recap, a bunch of UMC white people are upset about the uptick in crime in their expensive neighborhood after a school opens that is attended by mostly black and brown kids.
